The marker is difficult to read. It looks like he died in Oct. 1861 or Oct. 1864 at the age of 27. This would make his year of birth either 1834 or 1837, neither of which I believe to be correct. His age in the 1840 census was 10-14, making his DOB 1826-1830 - and his age in the 1850 census was 21, making his DOB about 1829. The 1829 date fits in with the births of his siblings while 1834 and 1837 do not.
He is buried between his mother, Mary Frazier, and his sister, Mary Frazier Lanning.
