Source (2) states the date of loss as 11-MAR-1783, with a source dated 21-JAN-1783. It is not known which date is in error; thus the reference could be 21-MAR-1783, giving a date of loss of 11-MAR-1783, or the date of loss could be 11-JAN-1783, to tie in with the reference to a source of 21-JAN-1783.
