Why Does the Declaration of Independence Study Guide say Carter Braxton died in 1761?

Problem scenario
The "brief biographies of the signers" of the laminated guide of The Declaration of Independence (a QuickStudy Academic publication) indicates that Carter Braxton died in 1761. Why is this?

Answer
It is a mistake. He died in 1797 according to https://encyclopediavirginia.org/entries/braxton-carter-1736-1797/

The laminated guide is not bad all-in-all. You can buy it on Amazon.
