To whomever is 74.196.59.177

Hello, 74.196.59.177. I appreciate your efforts to improve this article. However, if you're going to do this much, it might be nice if you created a profile so we can disccus things in an easier manner. Eric Cable | Talk 13:11, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Survivor of Valley Forge

This is in his Infobox, followed by nine cites. It is not controversial that he survived Valley Forge; one cite is enough. It is absurd to list nine - it doesn't matter how many authors wrote the same thing, and Connors is cited three times. I'm deleting extra cites. If the cites apply to other data, they should be placed at the fact.Parkwells (talk) 17:27, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Have replaced these cites as they affected others on the page.Parkwells (talk) 17:37, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
