The box lists as a relative "Fred Dent". Does this mean Frederick Dent, a cabinet officer under Presidents Nixon and Ford? If so, a modest expansion of his name will turn a red link blue. J S Ayer (talk) 01:36, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article gives exact d.o.b. and d.o.d. making her 76 when she died. Why then does the final section state:

The means thus afforded and her widow's pension enabled her to live in comfort, surrounded by children and grandchildren, until her own death in 1902 at age "77".

What's the deal with the "77" and quotation marks? Does it mean that this is how old she "claimed" to be? Is the writer intending some kind of unclear ironic comment? Is it just a bit of minor vandalism which hasn't been caught? Draggleduck (talk) 01:33, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the "Why?" from the sentence noting her memoirs went unpublished. There's not a clear, simple reason, but the section could be expanded. Use the editorial comments from book itself. YoPienso (talk) 07:09, 7 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wondering about this usage: "Frederick enslaved about 30 Africans..." Do we mean to say Frederick captured 30 free Africans and reduced them to a condition of slavery? Random noter (talk) 17:33, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Much of the content appears to have originally been added through a copy and paste from several sources in this edit in 2016. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 23:30, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Section about Grant owning a slave and giving him up for "no reason" is written ridiculously. This is from the U.S. Grant article:

The same year, Grant acquired a slave from his father-in-law, a thirty-five-year-old man named William Jones. Although Grant was not an abolitionist, he was not considered a "slavery man", and could not bring himself to force a slave to do work. In March 1859, Grant freed William by a manumission deed, potentially worth at least $1,000, when Grant needed the money. 4.36.74.50 (talk) 23:21, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
