[Note: from 9 Jun 1901, i.e., 40 May 1901, subtract 10 days to get 30 May 1901, subtract 3 months to be 30 Feb 1901, subtract 59 years to get 30 Feb 1842. However, there is no Feb 30, so is this Feb 28 or Mar 2? Note birth date on Find a Grave is invalid, 1842 not being a leap year, apparently calculated (albeit slightly incorrectly) and not based on any contemporary record (which wouldn't have made that error being in the actual time).]
