ERROR! To my shame, as an initial contribution, I got it back to front and wrong myself. He was said to have been born in 1810. Dying in 1682 would make him -128. Even more unlikely. Thank you, everyone, for the interesting and informative exchanges I have been following recently.

The 14 Sept 1682 theory would make him 128 when he died. Sounds unlikely!
