Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: August 1, 1713 (Oxford Dictionary of National Biography; SNAC; richardwilsononline.ac.uk; Artists of the World Online; RKDartists; Encyclopædia Britannica Online) or August 1, 1714 (The Fine Art Archive; Artists of the World Online) or in 1714 (Nationalmuseum; Great Norwegian Encyclopedia; Artnet; Gran Enciclopèdia Catalana; KulturNav; Smithsonian American Art Museum person/institution ID; Art UK painters database; National Gallery of Canada).
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.
