Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: November 19, 1799 (Journal d'agriculture traditionnelle et de botanique appliquee : JATBA; biusante.parisdescartes.fr) or September 19, 1799 (Dictionary of African Biography).

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.
