Lorezo Dow Turner question (UNCLASSIFIED)

Classification:  UNCLASSIFIED
Caveats: NONE

Three records on Ancestry.com list his DoB as 21 Aug 1890:
 1.  WWI Draft Registration Card
 2.  List of U.S. Citizens departing Southampton on the Queen Mary, 1
Sept 1937
 3.  List of U.S. Citizens departing Rio de Janeiro on the S.S. Brazil,
4 June 1941

I've forwarded these to Bethany under separate cover.

The 1900 census lists Lorenzo Turner, age 9, born Aug 1890, as living in
Elizabeth City NC (LDT's birthplace)

Also, a Lorenzo Turner, DoB 21 Aug 1890, died Feb 1972 in Chicago, SSN
326-28-9198, is listed in the Social Security Death Index.  Most likely
the same guy.
