The birthdate on his gravestone appears to be incorrect. Both the 1870 and the 1900 census gives his birth month as February 1870. The fact that he appears on the 1870 census at all (3 months old) means that the date on the gravestone is incorrect. His death certificate has one date typed on it and then another different one typed on top. The two dates were 19th of February or March, 1869 or 1870. Choosing the month and year that matches the census records the best, 19 Feb 1870 appears to be correct.
