The birth year for Absalom Case is in dispute even though the DAR Patriot file records it as 1759. Genealogical researchers doubt that 1759 is correct. The real birth year is much more likely to have been around 1738 though documentation is difficult.
Note, from the headstone photo, that the headstone must have been recently placed by the DAR and the placement date is given as 2014 even though the headstone was placed prior to 2014! Unless the 1759 date can be proven, the grave maker should be treated as spurious.
