In my old app dates could be specified as
12 Feb 1798/9
FH imported these in quotes
“12 Feb 1798/8”
so they don’t display in most property boxes.
1. Is there a plug-in that will fix this?
2. If not, what would be the desired way to correct this problem?
I was thinking if I manually had to fix this, that I would just remove the quotes and change the year to the NT format or newest date?

USMC7312,
I believe for old style/new style dates you have to use two digits after the "/".
In your example, try using 12 Feb 1798/99.

There is also the Fix Date Fields Plugin V1.1 in the Plugin Store that will correct many Date formats including that double date problem.
