Birth year

There is a slight problem with birth year with many derivative works citing 1841, the rest citing 1842. There is a memoir by Wallace Grout which may be wrong! I don't know what should be definitive here. Sometimes, these dates just "got away" from people. We may never "really" know, but we need to use the best source. Gravestone? General Wallace's memoirs?
