Until July 1837, births were not registered. The only formal recording of an event was a baptism in Church. Many people weren't even certain of their exact birthdate as illiteracy was very high.
US censuses did not include birthdates in 1860, 1870 or 1880. I don't know about 1890, but 1900 gave the month and the year.
