The Find-A-Grave record (Memorial ID 50204520) incorrectly gives his birth date as 6 March 1886.

His name on his birth record is William Pierce Hunter. All of his life he used Russell as his middle name. The record appears to be transcribed from the original, and the transcriber probably made an error.
