[edit] Need Sources

I'm actually a researcher of the Trigg family and I do not have a source for his date of marriage nor his birth place. Spotsylvania county is probably true, since his family lived there, but I haven't run across anything yet that says so. Also, I have his birth year as 1744? plange 13:38, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

I went ahead and removed these since they weren't sourced. plange 03:43, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Good Article

This is a very good article in that it is well cited, referenced. However, it lacks good pictures, and is hard to understand. The lead is also pretty poorly written. It needs some clean-up and it needs to be wikified. --GoOdCoNtEnT 06:33, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lincoln County

The intro refers to the militia of Lincoln Co., Va., but it links to Lincoln County, Kentucky. Maurreen 05:17, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, am not sure what to do about that-- it originally was Lincoln County, Virginia (at the time he was there) but it later became Lincoln County, Kentucky-- should I just redlink it to Lincoln County, Virginia? plange 06:29, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, that is tricky. Some other options:

1. Add a hidden comment for editors.
2. Unlink it at the top, make a link in the "Early Kentucky pioneer" section and add a parenthetical note there? Maurreen 06:41, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

RebelAt, I see you changed it back to how I had it originally, wasn't sure if you'd seen this note above? -plange 01:18, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA passes

I have passed this. Congratulations! Good work on a difficult subject to research.

My suggestions for further improvement:

• Trim down the run-on sentences like "His daughter Mary married General David Logan, whose son was Stephen Trigg Logan who later served in the Illinois state legislature, and was the law partner of Abraham Lincoln in Springfield, Illinois."

• I don't quite know what the deal is with those blocked quotes. Couldn't they be more integrated with the text? The first one, especially, just seems to float there, with no explanation of why.

Once again, good work and congratulations! Daniel Case 01:35, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
