Born Nov 4 18651,2 [Apr 11 18653], Rhode Island1,2.  John's birth date is shown as "04 Nov 1865" in a transcription of Rhode Island birth records,1 but as "4/11/1865" in an Ellis Island record of his returning to the U.S. from England in 1921.3  Somehow either 4/11 was transposed to 11/4, or visa versa.  It's uncertain which record is correct.
