Samuel's death record in family search states that he was 98 years old at the time of death, The matching birth year would be 1829. The death was reported by his eldest son, Emanuel Katz.
Samuel's headstone states that he was 92 (צ"ב) years old at the time of death. I believe Emanuel, his eldest son, provided the information to whomever made the stone. The matching birth year would be 1835.
According with Nyirmada 1848 census, there was a Samuel Katz, age 12, whose parents were Jozsef Kacz and Mari Fried. The matching birth year would be 1836/
1836 is close to 1835, indicating this is probably the correct birth time rather than 1829.
Unfortunately, Samuel's birth records are not available anywhere to confirm what is right.
