When was willie lynch born?

Considering the category this question was placed in, it would appear that it is referring to the hoax about an address purportedly delivered by a certain William Lynch (or Willie Lynch) to an audience on the bank of the James River in Virginia in 1712. Research has established beyond reasonable doubt that it was written in the late 20th century - no later than 1970 - although the author remains unknown.It lives on as folklore because it gets repeated - for example: Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan quoted the speech at the Million Man March in October 1995.Because the Willie Lynch speech is a known hoax, the question of when "Willie Lynch" was born is either meaningless, or perhaps could be given as 1970 - the earliest date that the hoax was known to be circulating.
