Laura Stevenson stated he was a twin. His sister's tombstone shows her born on June 5, 1819. Most of the primary sources support this date.
If we consider the date his civil war draft registration was taken (June 1863) instead of the date that was supposed to be used for reference (1 July 1863), it supports a birthdate of June 5, 1819
