[edit] Year of birth

Both the ODNB, [1] and the Nottingham University webpage in external links give his year of birth as 1730, not 1738. The oDNB further states that his father obtained him a Lieutenant's commission in the New York militia in 1745 - even with his position as Governor, I think that a 7 year old is alittle young for that. Is there a source for the later date? David Underdown (talk) 15:26, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
