However, in the census taken August 14, 1861 he claimed his age at next birthday to be 28. (That was the convention in the 1851 and 1861 census. This would suggest his DOB to be 1833. In the 1871 Census he claimed to be 33-DOB 1837-38. He and his brother appear in the 1851 Census (taken Jan. 12, 1852) as Gleasons living with their widowed mother.
