[JRF]Note: The correct expression of this person's birth year would be 1742/43 per the Julian-Gregorian calendar shift which affected birth dates within the first 3 months of every year from 1582 until 1752 when the British adopted the Gregorian calendar. This is the main reason for myriad birth year discrepancies running throughout this Wikitree system.
