In 1752 the English converted from the Julian to modern Gregorian calendar. Benjamin's recorded date of birth on Feb. 28, 1663 was in the old Julian calendar, historically written in the Gregorian calendar as Feb. 28, 1663/4. On the day Benjamin died he was 86 years old, and Ætatis suæ (i.e., Æ, "Aged," in the XX year of his Age) 87.
