John,
I think this is what you wanted me to look at?? The Brit's and the rest of the world have always written and said the date in the dd/mm/yy format I believe. Why we changed that here I don't know. When programming I remember we used to reformat the date to YY/MM/DD for comparison. I've also written programs to convert Gregorian date to what we called Julian date, YYDDD where DDD is the date of the year, which worked great when producing aging reports. (I guess these all had to be update for 2000 with a check byte or 2 bytes added for the complete year)
1737 or 1837 I don't know. Could be either. Was there any famous coin made in this countery in 1737??? Maybe up nor'east by them yankees<s>
