Data that may be wrong or needs further study

William married (1st) Cassandra Wilson, by 1859; (2nd) Susan Neal, on 06 Apr 1891 (no issue).
Although Granville's grave marker gives his birth year as 1885, this must be a mistake. He is enumerated on the 1885 Florida census as being age 5. Thus, his birth year would have been 1880. This does not conflict with the fact that he was not enumerated on the 1880 US Federal Census because the census date that year was 01 June, and he was born after that date (on 13 Aug). Lastly, on 12 Sep 1918, he gave his birth date as 13 Aug 1880 on his WWI draft registration card.
There is a notable time difference (6 yrs, 9 mos) between the births of John (#5) and Benjamin (#6). Other time differences between births for this family range between only 1.5 and 3 years. Might the large time gap between the births of John and Benjamin imply an undocumented child born say 1873? If so, the child certainly died before the 1880 US Census since he/she was not enumerated then.
