The year of birth on the marker is erroneous for the following reasons:
1. Isaac's father, John H. Breeding was married twice: (1) to Susan Lorena Knight on September 20, 1850; and (2) to Lavina Stillabower on March 23, 1856. If the year of birth on the marker is correct, then Isaac should be linked to Susan Lorena Knight as his mother. However, all documentation that has been found shows that Isaac should be linked to Lavina Stillabower as his mother.
2. Isaac was enumerated as age 3 in the 1860 census, suggesting a year of birth of about 1857.
3. Isaac was enumerated as age 14 in the 1870 census, suggesting a year of birth of about 1856.
4. Isaac was enumerated as age 24 in the 1880 census, suggesting a year of birth of about 1856.
5. The 1900 census shows that Isaac was born in February, 1858.
Each of these 4 Census reports indicate that Isaac was born from 1856 to 1858, which supports the link to Lavina Stillabower as his mother.
Due to the inconsistencies described herein, Isaac's month of birth in this memorial is shown as February, 1858 (the month of birth that was recorded in the 1900 Census) rather than the year of birth of 1852 as shown on the marker.
