[edit] 1901
Out of my depth here, but can anyone explain what is going on in this change (over the series of four quick edits by two apparently different people) from Seith Low to Charles Murphy? I'll admit I don't know a lot about this period but Seith Low is at least a vaguely familiar name to me. I'm guessing from context that Charles Murphy would be Charles Francis Murphy, but does Seith Low figure in the story somewhere? Thanks for any clarification. -- Jmabel | Talk 00:02, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
- I have changed it back to Low, based on [1].
[edit] Birth year
1841 vs. 1843. Biruitorul 03:15, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
- Several of these just happen to mention both Croker and a year. This would really take some sorting through. But clearly many supposedly reliable sources on each side. - Jmabel | Talk 06:21, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
- Exactly. I suppose we'd need something like a death (or birth) certificate or census data for either date to be authoritative beyond a reasonable doubt. Biruitorul 02:04, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
- I searched the 1880 US census here and 1843 seems to be the date, assuming the Richard Croker I found there is the same one. Biruitorul 02:16, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

I would like to move adding this topic to the article of Richard Croker. It identifies his wife, her location of orgin, and her family.
[edit] Mrs. Croker was a former Muskogee, Oklahoma resident
Mrs. Beulah Benton Edmondson Croker, widow of powerful Tammany Hall Boss, Richard Croker, who died Saturday March 16, 1957 in West Palm Beach, Florida, was a former Muskogee, Oklahoma resident and teacher.
A niece of the late Congressman W.W. Hastings of Tahlequah, Oklahoma. Mrs Croker was the only Indian who ever owned a castle in Ireland. She received it through the will of her husband. Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Garrett and their daughter, Kathleen, lived in the Irish castle until the children by Croker's first marriage took it away from Mrs. Croker in a legal battle. Mrs. Garrett was Mrs. Croker's sister.
Congressman Hastings went to Europe to fight the case in the courts, and as far as can be ascertained Hastings was the only American Indian who ever defended a law suit in Europe.
