[edit] Merge discussion

I don't think the Prince Hall Freemasonry article should be merged into this one, but I think that some of the PHF info should be moved out of this one. Anyone have more info about Prince Hall himself so this doesn't look stubby?--SarekOfVulcan 20:24, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep

1. is it meant that PHF be Merge with PH?? If so, maybe, but:
2. I'm confident both will evolve.
3. A merge is a 2-way deal, & this has already been proposed on PH.

Removed merge tag. Again, a merge is a 2-way deal. It was not noticed because neither were done properly, i.e. with a merge tag on both, but probably ample discussion, esp between the to tags' additions. Grye 22:43, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] notes

I'll try, someday, to make this into the article, but if someone wants to use it, please do!

Prince Hall married five times (?) The official records of the City of Boston show:

1. 2 November 1763, Sarah Ritchie (or Ritchery).
2. 22 August 1770, Florah Gibbs.
3. 14 August 1783, Affee Moody.
4. 28 June 1798, Nabby Ayrauly.
5. 28 June 1804, Zilpha (?Sylvia) Johnson, died in Boston in 1836.

Prince Hall is buried in Copp's Hill Burying Ground in Boston, with his first wife. The inscription reads:

"Here lies ye body of Sarah Ritchery, wife of Prince Hall, died Feby the 26th, 1769, aged 24 years."

[edit] run-on article

can't do it myself now (or soon), but lets get some sections in here? With that, there'll be some movement of material, sooner than later resulting in rewriting... I'll come back to this, but anyone else interested, "git 'er done"...;-) Grye 09:34, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
