While information from a descendant is appreciated, one must keep in mind that: 1.) wikipedia is an encyclopedia and information should be presented in a format suitable for same; 2.) once notability has been established, it behooves us to limit the length of entries so they remain readable; and 3.) while some family information is acceptable (and, in fact, desirable, as it gives a concrete sense of time and place), too much can be a hindrance. So I am reverting the changes, and hoping the well-intentioned descendant of this fascinating man will familiarize herself with wikipedia style and re-add at some future date in a style more in keeping with wikipedia, and at some lesser length.

Where is the Pennsylvania connection? There is a category for Bucks County, Pennsylvania, but the article itself never mentions Pennsylvania. I have left the Pennsylvania template unrated, but added the states and field in the article itself. -- DThomsen8 ( talk) 14:06, 9 March 2011 (UTC) reply

What is the Pennsylvania connection? There is a category for Bucks County, Pennsylvania, but nothing else to make a Pennsylvania template appropriate. -- DThomsen8 ( talk) 13:47, 17 March 2011 (UTC) reply
