Now Now Terry, your coming across like a scorned Sheila over the Yonge article.
It was written many years ago, 1993 I think, when I was unemployed, and the only book I had was Sinclair's. As to the error of the dates, not my doing Terry. My own article in front of me states quite clearly November 1861 when he served in the paymasters office as a clerk. His appointment as paymaster was on December 21 1861, etc etc

When you've worked on the crew since 89, I ought to know when the ship was commissioned. All my sources were listed, but the site chose not to use them. As to the article appearing on the internet, that was their choosing and not mine. You mention the fact he was still alive in 1880, something I only found out about on October 13 2002. But can you tell me and your readers when he died Terry, or where he is buried?

Your article is nothing more than nit picking Terry. If errors have appeared on the site, they don't show on my article. Why you waited until July 2004 to do something now about it instead of when it first appeared on the internet, must leave the reader with only one suggestion, sour grapes. Look at this Roy, have you seen my Yonge article. Childish.

One might say the same of your errors on the birth place of the Alabama crewmen. Let's take Ralph Masters as an example. Born in Ireland! I don't think so. I can tell you he was not born in Great Britain or Ireland. Kernot born in Great Britain. I've got it further than that Terry. That's just two of many you have. But I won't fall for this childish attitude. If you wish to quote Marvel, so be it. He copied my work in 93, but I've longed since updated it.
