claim[edit]

Hey, User:Magicpiano, the current article makes a claim which needs clarification.

The NRHP document asserts it is one of only "two buildings surviving in New Hampshire which have significant associations with Samuel Livermore--the Matthew Livermore House in Portsmouth and Trinity Church in Holderness. The Matthew Livermore House was built c. 1735 by Samuel's cousin, Matthew Livermore, ..." There is also assertion that there were only 4 Episcopal(?) churches in New Hampshire in the 19th century.

The current article asserts it is one of only two buildings built as churches in the state. Is it meant to be restricted to buildings that operated as Episcopal churches in the 18th century? If so, some more development about how 2 of the 4 Episcopal churches did not have purpose-built buildings needs to be presented. --Doncram (talk) 16:35, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've clarified the claims in the lead. If you want to add more, go ahead. Magic♪piano 17:32, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, the 18th century one of 2 churches in the state claim is quite a good one, bigger than i expected it would end up. I believe you, given your knowledge of the state and attention paid here, that it is true, and also that this is now the only Samuel Livermore-associated building. It is a bit pushy, though, synthesis-like, because those claims are made in lede without footnote, and they are not supported directly in the body of the article, and the NRHP document is not enough to support them. You are drawing on more knowledge from elsewhere. --Doncram (talk) 19:07, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
