i just wanted to say that i have recently started reasearching henry wilson other wise known as jerimiah colbath because he is my great great great uncle.my name is amber haines and he is from my dads side my grandmothers name was colbath intill she married my grandfather whos name is lester haines.
wanted to contact anyone of relation to henry wilson(jeremiah jones colbath) He is my fathers great great uncle.My fathers great grandmother was kate curtis colbath, who was henry's cousin. We have many letters from family and a genealogy book and coat of arms made by Daniel Webster Colbath(1876)Ther seems to be a lot of misinformation about him and his life. Anyone interested can contact me at ironwrkrb@aol.com
I added the reason as to why he changed his name. THat's pretty much iot, though right now I'm going to research it more because im his 5 times great nephew so I know why he changed his nephew (my mothers grandmother's maiden name was Colbath).- Chile 19:05, 4 June 2006 (UTC) He changed it because the story goes his father named him after a rich neighbor hoping to attach themselves( they had many children) The story can only be proven by written papers.) he was indentured to another neighbor because they couldn't afford to take care of him. This is where his love of books comes from. when of age he changed his name to make a new start in life. he hated the name but had no ill will towards his parents for the name and he never ran from it.Brian Whittemore ironwrkrb@aol.com

CSPAN this date in a special on the history of the Capitol mentioned his death by stroke in the old Capitol baths in 1875 while serving as Vice President. I had never heard of him and looked him up on Wikipedia and it is clear that he is one of the greater men to hold that office.- Tom Cod

Why is there a conflict in the dates of his death? Wat Tyler He had a stroke and went down to the senate baths where he was found uncouncious, spent a day or so dying in his chamber, nov. 22 1875, the best friend a freeman could have! Brian Whittemore
Then-Senator Wilson was also involved, implicated, and investigated in connection with the
Crédit Mobilier scandal of 1872, which please see, prior to his being elected Vice President in 1880.

I think the Crédit Mobilier section is looking good for now. I suppose there is no way to substantiate Wilson's claims concerning his wife...The whole issue sounded complicated...There apparently is no date when Wilson gave Ames the 2,000...Right now I can't think of anything to improve the section.

I suggest making all the references consistant to the sfnRef format. That way large references in the article can be referenced in the sources section...Here is a sample sfnRef reference: Cmguy777 ( talk) 23:40, 31 October 2015 (UTC) [1]
Is the War of 1812 worth mentioning in the article? New Hampshire mustered 5,955 troops to fight the in the war and the British blockaded New England in 1814. I don't think Wilson's father fought in the war. Cmguy777 ( talk) 17:59, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
Wilson does talk about the War of 1812 in his book History of the Rise and Fall of the Slave Power in America Volume 1 Pages 118-122. Cmguy777 ( talk) 00:17, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
