[edit] Gwinnett's Birthdate

Various sources list either 1732 or 1735 as his year of birth. Some '35 references are exact. All the 1732 references I've seen say about or circa 1732. 1735 seems to be preferred by about 60/40. I can't find an exact solution, but he was baptized in March of 1734/5 (see Gregorian calendar for year shift explanation), at the parish of Down Hatherley. The net of this is that I'm changing the article to reflect the 1735 date. Any comments can be placed here or my talk page. Lou I 14:34, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Comment

If you check the Atlanta Journal Magazine Section of June 30, 1946 I think you will find that they state his birth year as 1732, however they do not state the exact date.

[edit] Rosenbach

I believe it says 5 signatures were owned by a "Dr. Rosenbach". One can only assume that it means A.S.W. Rosenbach, as we was a collector, but it doesn't specify and it doesn't cite a source.

[edit] Duel

Just wondering why the fact that he died as a result of a wound he received from a duel is not mentioned?

[edit] Button Gwinnett in Popular Culture

I have seen sections on other biographical pages with this heading (see for example Nikola Tesla) or pages by themselves with this title (eg Hitler in popular culture). Would it be appropriate to create a section here, if I have only one instance to contribute at this time? Terrek 01:31, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
