I have run across three discrepancies:
How it's left at the moment is there's a note about the discrepancies. I used the 22 April 1745 birth date and the 16 February 1826 date of death in the body of the article, because it seems there are more sources for those.
For place of birth, since Swatara is often listed as the place of birth and it's just a bit east of Harper Tavern, I used "Harper Tavern, near Swatara Township..." It may be that the writers meant Swatara Creek, which flows by Harper Tavern.
Does this make sense? If you have insight or a way to sort the dates more definitely - or express the place of birth differently, that would be helpful.– CaroleHenson ( talk) 06:39, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
Melchior2006 I saw your edit summary comment "Law career: confusing... did he ever leave practice? Cut the comment tending toward saints' legends..."
It's very confusing to me how long he was in practice. I don't think he did much for the first four years of the Revolutionary War. He's described as fishing, sailing, and something else. There's a source that said he returned to his practice in 1779, so that's in there, but it sounds like he made much more money on the import-export and shipping businesses.
I have been debating whether to spend more time on it. It seems (his memoir, Monaghan, not sure) that it was harder for him to get business in the last years of the war and during economic downturnsttt. If he was practicing law from 1779 to 1783, I don't think it was full-time.– CaroleHenson ( talk) 21:05, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
