John's Birthday

As John grew, somewhere along his life, his birthdate changed!  When he died he was really a year older than everyone else thought.  Of course, I don't know if he knew his real birthdate, but I'd like to assume that he did.
All of the later records show that he was born in 1880.  But the earlier records dealing with his birth say he was born in 1879.
This document was copied from the American Fork ward records, which not only gives his birthdate, but also his blessing date.  

This document is his TIB record, which he gives this information himself, just before his marriage.  My assumption is right - he does know his birthdate!
Happy Birthday, Great Grandpa!
