Martha Endsley, who did extensive research on the Crouse family of Caldwell County, told me that John Miller's date of birth, as recorded in the family Bible, was 12 Jul 1808. His age in the 1860 census of Caldwell County was 50; in 1870, 62; in 1880, 71. So I think that the tombstone inscription probably reads "74 y 4 m", although it is almost illegible in the photo.
