misremember

To remember incorrectly or mistakenly.

It sounds stupid and made-up, but it's appeared in text dating from the 17th century, and has been used by Jonathan Swift, Thomas Jefferson, John Locke, and Nathaniel Hawthorne.

"I may misremember indifferent circumstances, but can be right in substance. " -Thomas Jefferson, Letter to John Cabel Breckenridge, 1821
