↑ Note: the published records give May for the month of birth while both the secondary sources cited say March. The possible sources of error are too numerous to hazard a guess without having access to the original records, or perhaps a baptism record might help. It could be month 3, which was May in old style dates, but March in new style, or it could be a reading/transcription/record-keeping error and one secondary source copied from the other. By presumption, the vital records are expected to have accessed more sources of data, and the compilers expected to have developed more familiarity with the clerk's handwriting, and so must be considered the most likely unless access to the original records proves otherwise.
