[edit] Manuel Eyre, Sr.

Another in the long list of hoax articles about the supposed Eyre legend. The surces merely mention that there was a person named Manuel Eyre who was a shipbuilder, nothing in the linked sources indicate that he was important or notable, nor that he was even the brother of the supposed Jehu Eyre, merely that the two served in the same unit during the Revolutionary War.

• Delete Not sure if this is a hoax, but there is no evidence of sufficient notability either. Note that there this guy's son, Manuel Eyre Jr., is sometimes called the founder of Delaware City, Delaware as in this description of a bunch of books he owned that are for sale (note that it is the interest of the seller to claim that he was the founder). However other sources such as Delaware City's own official website claim only the Newbold family as the city's founders. This source states that Manuel Eyre Jr. was just someone who bought land from the Newbolds after the Newbolds had already founded the city. Bwithh 00:21, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete The sources provided are mostly unreliable, and seem to be almost randomly chosen, since they provide NO coherent backing for the claims in the article itself. --Calton | Talk 00:24, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
