As in, what birth year would have yielded the hardest life?

I’m going with 1896. You get the first World War, the Depression, and very few remarkable milestones in technology or medicine had been hit.

Pre Civil War would have been a bitch, too.

I don't think about this type of thing because:

1. I don't care.
2. It doesn't matter.
3. Your mom's arse is divine.

Being born to pioneers in the late 1600s on the frontier. Trying to eek out a living in the hills and hollers of Appalachia with no industrialization of any sort. Fighting the natives. Nothing guaranteed. Those were hard, hard people.

Let's go with 1692.

1587. There was only one, and nobody knows what happened to her.

That’s a fair answer.

One round on the Oregon Trail computer game supports your point as well

It would have been impossible to have been born in America in 1491, something that is impossible is pretty damn difficult to do.
