I was among those who believed that Jane Colden died in 1766 but I recently became aware of her death notice having been recorded in the NY Mercury in 1760. I will get the actual date. Authors Sara Stidstone Gronim (What Jane Knew) and Paula Ivaska Robbins (she will soon publish a bio on Jane) have enlightened us in this regard. If no editor objects, I will edit the death date. There are several events for Jane that are planned here where she lived. I can separately share those. JosephDevine (talk) 19:04, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I found the added sections, pictures, references, and mentioning other prominent botanists great improvements to the article. You did a great job, perhaps the introduction is a little weak even with the additions made. Jomoakin (talk) 02:07, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
