  The place of death is often reported in genealogies as Throckmorton, Texas, which was his place of residence.  However, the Texas Death Index reports that he actually died in Stephens County, Texas.  The date of death reported her is two days earlier than the death date on his gravestone.  Perhaps the date on the grave is the date of burial.
