Suggested edit: According to his birth records, he was born on 30 Jan. 1702/3, meaning that the correct year is 1703 as the colonies were still using the Julian Calendar. Further, his headstone shows his death on 27 Jan. 1744/5, meaning that the correct year is 1745. Because he died before 30 Jan., his date of birth, he would have died in his 42nd year, as the headstone states
