Cemetery records indicate same date. Every census records that I have seen indicates that he was born around 1851-1854 which must be wrong. He died April 21, 1929. His wife, Nancy was born May 1, 1856 and died December 8, 1928. They are both buried in Keath cemetery, near Ursa, along with Thomas's parents, brother James, and daughter Lousetta Hess Houghton .
