Notes for Henry Coleman Tincher
For most of his adult life, he reported his birthdate as March 1854. But the 1860 census listed him as age 7, and the 1870 census as age 17, suggesting a birthdate in 1853. His brother William, though, was recorded in Bath Co. birth records as born 8 June 1853, creating a conflict with March 1853, and also with March 1854, which would be only 9 months later. So he was apparently really born in 1852. (His younger brother John, born 18 Mar 1846 according to birth records, was reported as 3 in 1860 when he should have been 4, which would be consistent with Henry being reported as 7 whenn he should be 8.)
