Henry's date of birth on his tombstone does not match the date of birth that Evergreen Cemetery has on file, nor does it match the date given on the NJ Births and Christenings Index (his age is given as 26 in 1882); both of those give his DoB as 14 Sept 1857. He arrived with his family from France on 2 May 1865 aboard the Ship Mercury. The family initially settled in Manhattan, NY, later Newark, NJ and finally Dayton, KY.
The name on his tombstone is also a misspelling; in every prior document the name is spelled Bouchy.
