Birth date estimated from age at death
Headstone lists 8 years; Deaths and Burials Index lists 8 years and 5 months
Year is incorrectly listed as 1863 in Deaths and Burials Index
He is age 5 years on the 1860 Federal census record - making him born 1855

NJ Births and Christenings Index:
Lists (Male) Cobb born 3 Jan 1854 - parents listed as William and Prudence
I first thought this may have been Enos but he was 8 years and 5 months at death
A birth date of 3 Jan 1854 would make him 10 years not 8 since he died May 1864
I believe that this may have actually been his sister Lydia and incorrectly put as male
Lydia was aged 10 when she died in 1864
