eedit- ↑ Conway, Moncure D. (1908). The Life of Thomas Paine. Vol. I. p. 3. Cobbett, William, Illustrator. G. P. Putnam's Sons. Retrieved 2 October 2013. – In the contemporary record as notit bi Conway, Paine's birth date is prentit in Volume I, page 3, as 29 Januar, 1736–37. Common practice wis tae uise a dash or a slash tae separate the auld-style year frae the new-style year. Paine's birth date, atween 1 Januar, an 25 Mairch, advances bi eleiven days an his year increases bi ane tae Februar 9, 1737. The A.S. airtin gies mair detail if needit.
