Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: in 1755 (LIBRIS; Trove; Project Gutenberg; NUKAT; Biodiversity Heritage Library; SNAC) or October 20, 1757 (No external source identified).

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.
