Samwise - Year of Birth? SR 1380 or 1383? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Just answered quiz #53, Ages of Fellowship Members (by Lindolir). Looking in my one volume Unwin/Unicorn edition printed 1985, I found in Appendix B, the chronology, that Sam was born same year as Faramir - Third Age 2983, but according to Appendix C, the family trees, he was born Shire Reckoning 1380, which equals Third Age 2980. First of all, is my arithmetic correct? Or does my copy have a misprint? Which date is generally accepted as correct?
