Sources vary on his birth date. His first biographer, James Phinney Baxter, sets his birth as shortly after the death of his father on 29 August 1568.[2] This year is also used by Hasler's 1981 History of Parliament, which relies principally on a family history.[3] Miller Christy, who examined English colonizing records, although not the Gorges family papers, suggests that his birth was around 1566,[4] a year also used by the 1890 Dictionary of National Biography[5] and followed by the online Encyclopædia Britannica. William Retlaw Williams has his birth year as 1584.[6]
