Article is new enough and long enough. What makes
this a reliable source, or the people quoted therein? I don't see 1848 there, nor the posthumous naming. Wonder if we should include Hoxie's cowardice somehow. Source text sometimes pretty similar to article text, but I don't think it crosses into plagiarism or copyvio. AGFing on some offline sources. Where does the information in the infobox come from? About the hook, I think it should be "sank" and "at least 90". QPQ is OK.

@
Jo-Jo Eumerus:What makes
this a reliable source, or the people quoted therein? Thank you, the link was incorrect and I fixed it. I waffled on this one since since it's a family geneology website but everything was sourced and it had links which led me to many of my other sources. I did try to double source everything from this website.
This is the correct link.
@
Jo-Jo Eumerus: my vision isn't great. What specific info isn't in the text but is in the infobox? I did doublecheck,
MOS:INFOBOXCITE says it doesn't have to be sourced as long as the relevant text has a citation. Thanks!
