When was he born?[edit]

This article sources two separate dates for his birth, the first in the early life section as 1715 from Oliver, p.334. Then later it says "In 1780 Cunninghame retired from the tobacco business, although he was not yet fifty years old." This would make him 65 if going from the early life. The website linked from this source states he was born 1731, which would make more sense if he was retiring before 50 in 1780. Fbradley (talk) 15:18, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
