Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: January 23, 1737 (Find a Grave; SNAC) or January 12, 1736 (famouskin.com; Prabook; GeneaStar).

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.
