The source I cited specifically rules out a November 1868 birth date. So we have
two books and two opposing "facts".
There's no information on the source for the Record Changer claim.
"...and presumably had verified it with Joplin's widow..."
"Presumably" is a "weasel word". Seeing that word makes me doubt the November 1868
date even more.
Don't know why this matters to me, but it does.
