Contributor 48546651 states that his date of birth on the stone is incorrect: This is proven by his father's last will and testament, to which he attached a codicil that he wrote in August 1776. In the codicil, Thomas leaves a legacy to his newborn son Tench. It is therefore proven that he was born prior to 1777, presumably on the same date, just one year prior in 1776.
