I propose to amend the biography section along the lines of Scot was born in 1744 though it is unclear precisely where Some or one source s state s that he was born in Edinburgh Scotland 2 while others or another give s him as a native of England 3 The Early United States Quarters website merely states that he was born somewhwere in the British Isles 4 Before I make the change perhaps interested readers could give their views on my suggestion
