The marker in question is here

The date of survey you have is incorrect SEE

"They bought the last lot on May 6, 1834 and on 16 Jul 1834 Thomas Burford
left office as surveyor and William W. Vaughan became surveyor. Since the
original dividing line between the lots falls across the middle of some town lots,
we would assume that the survey was not done until both lots had been
purchased. "
