  	1910 Census says he was born in 1849 1900 Census says he was born in March 1848 Note: Joy Upton's pedigree chart shows his birth year as 1831. This would have made Levi approximately 112 years old at his death. Until proven wrong, I believe that this may be a typographical error, and will accept his birth date as 1851 as indicated by other researchers.
