Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: September 10, 1801 (Louisiana History; African American Lives; Find a Grave) or in 1801 (Google Books) or September 4, 1794 (Find a Grave) or in 1794 (Committee for Skeptical Inquiry; Library of Congress 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.
