Talk:Cresap's War

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Cresap later fought in Dunmore's War." Follow the links to Dunmore's War and Captain Michael Cresap, who is said in that article to have been born in 1742. But Cresap's War ended in 1737. Maybe the article on Michael Cresap is wrong -- but since Dunmore's War was fought in 1774, probably it ain't the same guy.--Hippasus the Younger 04:31, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Answered my own question. Michael Cresap was Thomas Cresap's son.--Hippasus the Younger 16:52, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

The material now under the heading "Outbreak of hostilities" appears to be drawn from Pennsylvania sources and biased towards Pennsylvania's claims. Maryland sources present a very different description of the conflict.--Hippasus the Younger 19:35, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
