Wikipedia's entry on William Bradford cites his birthdate as May 20, 1663 and his death as May 23, 1752. That'd make him 89.
His gravestone notes his birth-year as 1660 and records that he "departed this Life May 23 1752 aged 92 Years".
(Comments moved from article)
Gravestone info noted. However, most sources give birth year as 1663. If 1660 is to be given as his birth year, the discrepancy with other major sources should be noted in the text. Thisdaytrivia ( talk) 18:25, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

This article is part of Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/20210315 and the Good article (GA) drive to reassess and potentially delist over 200 GAs that might contain copyright and other problems. An AN discussion closed with consensus to delist this group of articles en masse, unless a reviewer opens an independent review and can vouch for/verify content of all sources. Please review Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/February 2023 for further information about the GA status of this article, the timeline and process for delisting, and suggestions for improvements.
