4. ↑ ^4.0 4.1 1784 versus 1787 would be an easy misread to make. Unclear which is the correct death year. Ironic that the memorial gravestone (appears to have been erected later) uses a death date of 1787 with an age of 45, while the Gove Book uses a death date of 1784 with an age of 47. They should trade so they get both of their ages at death to match the birth date instead of each being half right?
