[edit] Death date

We currently show him dying on 17 January, yet I can find very few sources that back this up - this is one of them.

The majority say he died on 15 January – [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6].

This even says "He died early in January 1775, his remarkably active life commemorated by a large gathering at a memorial service held on January 16".

On this basis, I’m changing the death date to 15 January 1775. -- JackofOz (talk) 06:10, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
