A note in the article states: "No real divorce was possible, since the marriage of Green and Mrs. Montgomery was not legal". I'm not sure how Sarah's marriage to him was dissolved, but, she probably would have needed some legal recognition of its dissolution or non-existence in order to marry someone else (admittedly it is also unclear when and where Sarah's first husband died). In the case of bigamy this normally would require an annulment though quite frequently the word 'divorce' is also used for an annulment. It is also possible she went the divorce route (on the grounds of abandonment) because that was easier to prove than that he was already married in a different state and under a different name when he married her. A divorce might also have made it easier for her to get his California property (and Geddes/Green does seem to have given her some of his property which is why she ended up owning a chunk of what is now Palo Alto). Unfortunately whatever method, the court records were almost certainly destroyed in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake/fire (there might be newspaper reports). The note itself may not be appropriate for this article unless there is a reliable source that has stated that for this particular marriage. Erp ( talk) 04:30, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Jacob0790: Article is long enough and submitted same day as DYK submission. The hook is very interesting and well-sourced, though I would word it slightly differently [see below]. The article is neutral, presentable, and well-sourced. No QPQ needed. Please let me know if you accept my rewording:
Thanks,
Erp and

I couldn't find a good secondary source for when Green Street was named. However the 1850 City Directory (Kimball, Charles Proctor (1850). The San Francisco City Directory. Montgomery Street, San Francisco: Journal of Commerce Press.), which is before he was found out, has "Green Street" as a street name. The first mention in the Daily Alta California is 28 March 1850.

@ Jacob0790 we're missing bibliographic details for Larkin 1854 (citations 23, 51, 52, etc.) Could you add it to the bibliography or fix the sfns? Thanks! Wham2001 ( talk) 00:13, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
