The date of birth listed here for Richard Rankin would appear to be in error. In Lois Rankin Nash's book I read that in his father John's will he is listed as the older brother to Thomas, but Thomas's birth date is listed here as 1724, and so the 1730 date of birth for Richard is too late. I think that the 1720 date on the FindAGrave memorial for Richard would be more accurate. Obviously there was a data entry error with the DAR listing for Richard Rankin.
