Ideally you want a newspaper entry (a bit early for that), someone researching the same family with a Family Bible, or perhaps school admissions or occupational records which may give date of birth. As I note that many trees on Ancestry give 1817 (presumably calculated from a census age) as the birth for James CURRY that probably means that he was born between April and Dec 1816 i.e. with a birthday after the census.
