The town death record shows Jonathan died a widower,and he had been a farmer. Cause of death: old age. Date of death: Dec 11, 1847 Note!: headstone says Dec 10th!
AND the record shows he was 88yrs, 11mos and 6 days old, which was correcting the original entry of age 89.
One can't help but notice the math, from dates on the headstone, and the town records don't match!
