My first guess was 1738, but this would have made him a Harvard graduate at 17. Is the Harvard date right?
Mr. Farrar was born Sept, 8, 1788 according to the article.
My guess is Rev Farrar was born in 1728.
Article states 1738, Google lens read the 3 as an 8.
An interesting feat he accomplished. This said that he was born in 1788 yet graduated in 1755 from Harvard.
