According to all the sources I can find, Gyurme Kunzang Namgyal (1711-1769) was the second Rabjam Rinpoche. He was the brother of the second Dzogchen Rinpoche and that might be where the confusion lies. My notes, which are taken from different Tibetan history books, also say that he founded Shechen, in the wood tiger year, which was 1734. This is also what it says in Alak Zenkar Rinpoche's Great Tibetan Dictionary:
1734 12) SHING STAG [..........] ZHE CHEN RAB 'BYAMS GNYIS PA 'GYUR MED KUN BZANG RNAM RGYAL GYIS ZHE CHEN BSTAN GNYIS DAR RGYAS GLING BTAB,
