Talk:Alfred L. Elwyn

Appeared as a baby on a Confederate $10 bill?
This seems unlikely if you think about it at all. A kid from New hampshire was painted or engraved about 1807, became an abolitionist, moved to Pennsylvania. 54 years later his childhood portrait is put on a Confederate $10 bill (but they didn't know that it was him). Then somehow the word got out. Possible but very, very unlikely. There are 2 refs for this 1) identifies the baby as Elwyn and gives a bio of Elwyn, but doesn't explain how A got to B or how he was later identified. Does not look like a reliable source. 2) has a nice title, but not online, might be a reliable source, but might not have proof of such an unlikely story. Should this be removed?

 * Friedberg reference appears solid. Keep. https://books.google.com/books?id=PtuYv3DabYEC&pg=PA253 Dwkaminski (talk) 16:01, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Actually, I stand corrected. The Friedberg reference refers to a Rev. Dr. Alfred Langdon Elwyn. Also Thomas Sully painted a portrait of Alfred Langdon Elwyn born 1832. It must be the son of this Alfred L. Elwyn. Will correct copy.Dwkaminski (talk) 21:19, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
