Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: in 1821 (Tubman, Harriet (1820-1913), legendary Underground Railroad conductor; Encyclopædia Universalis; FemBio database; Integrated Authority File; Dictionary of Canadian Biography) or in 1820 (SNAC) or in 1822 (BnF authorities).
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.
