Poor, poor man. He was hanged even though he recited the Lord's Prayer perfectly. He was another victim of the Salem Witch Trials.

[edit] Genealogy question

User:131.215.240.167 has insisted that the genealogical information s/he has repeatedly added is appropriate for this article. I disagree. Edward I of England lived over 300 years (i.e. many generations) before Burroughs and Walt Disney some 300 years (i.e., many generations) later. These may be interesting genealogical tidbits, but none of these three had any significant influence on the others and Wikipedia is not a genealogical database. Therefore this connective trivia should be deleted under WP:TRIVIA. I bring it up here rather than edit warring. --Flex (talk/contribs) 16:23, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
