Good point about gender. Thank you for clarifying.

I guess I'm allowed a second question in a row, so lets continue this experiment with date of birth. Born on or after Jan 1, 1776?

So we've got his/her DOB down to a 23 year period (Gregorian calendar adopted Sep 14, 1752; before Jan 1, 1776). No more than four more questions should get us the exact year.

Less if we do what I was tempted to do in the last game and ask related questions like whether the mother was pregnant in such and such timeframe

Did a large part of their fame come from writing poetry, plays, or fiction?

Nice work! I actually found William Blake while searching for possibilities, and thought he might very well could have been it, but I didn't feel nearly confident enough to make the guess, which is why I asked the writing question.
