Correction to "Who Was Missing at the Signing of the U. S. Constitution in 1787?"
All my thanks to the reader who alerted me to a mistake in my post this morning that I’d like to correct.
This paragraph:
In 1802 William was killed in a pistol duel by his political opponent, John Stanley, a 28-year-old Federalist whom Spaight publicly called “both a liar and a scoundrel”.
Should read:
In 1802 Richard was killed in a pistol duel by his political opponent, John Stanley, a 28-year-old Federalist whom Spaight publicly called “both a liar and a scoundrel”.
