Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: November 6, 1796 (Back, George (NBD); Dictionary of Canadian Biography; Oxford Dictionary of National Biography; SNAC) or in 1796 (Library of the World's Best Literature) or November 6, 1795 (Biographies of the Entomologists of the World).
The main date retains its own sources. These alternatives overlap neither all other statements nor the main date. Rank is Wikidata editorial priority, not proof.
