I did a major cleanup of the article, which now clearly shows the lack of coverage of his business, as well as his church affiliation (or lack thereof) which might have led to his opinionated writings. I don't know whether I'll be able to fill either gap during a trip to Penn's library.Jweaver28 (talk) 12:06, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't able to get to the new Penn library, whose manuscript division is closed on weekends, and may also financially restrict access, in addition to my own personal time restrictions. There's clearly a problem either with the prior version of his page, or the findagrave entries for him and his brother, or the published history of the Jaudon family (his wife's and sister in law's)--or all 3, in terms of his daughter's name (Anna or Nina) and whether Francis Henry Lea is his son or his brother's. Also, I suspect the Lea boys were tutored alongside the Jaudon girls, so Anna might be an unacknowledged co-author of his corpus of work (like Charles and Mary Beard).Jweaver28 (talk) 17:24, 15 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
