Talk:Stephen Delancey
Biography Unassessed | |||||||
|
I have moved this article from Etienne DeLancey and performed some slight editing.
As DeLancey anglicized his name to Stephen upon arriving in America, it seemed ony appropriate to call him by the name he called himself. Further, as he is known for his activities in New York, and not France, the vast majority of readers will be looking for Stephen not Etienne.
Additionally, I have reformatted the article into three sections.
I also removed some repetitive links and added new ones.
Finally, there were some minor spelling and punctuational corrections to be made (eg: "wharehouse" to "warehouse" / "hiers" to "heirs").

- He still signed his name Etienne de Lancey after he came to America and after he was naturalized. The article should be called Stephen DeLancey since it is the name by which other people commonly knew him. BradMajors (talk) 23:25, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
State Senator
The article states he was a State Senator (backed with a citation), but this can not be true since during this time period there was no State Senate. BradMajors (talk) 23:29, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
…I am also doing some research on the Senate thing. It is in possibility that a southern Colony had a senator position, a senator is one whom is involved with stated issues. Issues that are of a stated franchise are in lean to be of an ordinance. A Senator is a position of high formality. A state is something England has always used in terming. A state of Union as of one type issued during the early 1700's between England and Scotland, had made one and the other a state of a union. Scotland's Unionized Nation has brought them to issues that perhaps lead to much greater things. There's just so much to be said about that.David George DeLancey (talk) 04:46, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

…Etienne is French Stephen is English, both represent the same meaning, Dutch French and German language are similar, Perhaps knowing how to speek and write in these differences help't his economyDavid George DeLancey (talk) 06:42, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
