His death certificate, although a bit faded, reports his birth as Sep. 13, 186?. The last digit could be 5, but has more characteristics of the number 6. In any event, his age at death on Jun. 19, 1950 was given as 83 yrs., 8 mos., and 6 days. That calculates to a birthdate of Sep. 13, 1866. Lilburn's first wife Sarah did not die until 1860 and, he married Lucinda in 1861. Their first child was born in 1862, likely while Lilburn was away in the Civil War.
