7. Matthew Lyddall & Martha W. Bacon family monument, Elmwood Cemetery, shows date, with year as 1846, county, and state. The death certificate date, 1845, is consistent with age 5 shown in the 1850 census, and agrees with the year shown in the 1900 census, so I conclude that the gravestone inscription showing the year as 1846 is in error.
