Summary
The 1850 federal census has an implied birth of 1781; however, findagrave lists a birth at 1816. If he had been more in 1816, then his father would have been 80 so I find this unlikely. In addition, the census lists his wife's birth year as 1783.
He may also be listed in the 1830 Federal Census, Alabama.
