Subject: Jacob Shunk & Christina dates

Marion Keffer's data recorded Jacob Shunk & Christina (Koch) Shunk's vital stats incorrectly. or
the carving on the tombstone is incorrect. The tombstone for them is one combined stone and it reads for Jacob, "Jacob Shunk died June 27, 1877 aged 97 yrs, 3 mos, 27 days". Making his birth date 29 Feb 1780. For Christina the tombstone reads "Christina, wife of Jacob Shunk died, June 25, 1876, aged 84 yrs, 5 mos". Making her birth date as 25 Jan 1792. I have a photo of the tombstone.
