Comments That's it, a few trivial points, but otherwise looks very good. On hold while we work through these bits and pieces. The Rambling Man (REJOICE!) 09:12, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
 * "He then lead St. John's Literary Institution" do you mean "He then led St. John's...."?
 * Fixed.  Ergo Sum  23:55, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
 * " as pastor of Holy Trinity Church" I guess there are quite a few such named churches, perhaps specify.
 * Done.  Ergo Sum  23:56, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
 * " November 21, 1813 in " comma after 1813.
 * Done.  Ergo Sum  23:56, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Be consistent with the piping of "Port Tobacco" (between prose and infobox).
 * Resolved.  Ergo Sum  00:05, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Not convinced we need to link lawyer, it's a pretty common term.
 * Unlinked.  Ergo Sum  00:06, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Ditto for "French".
 * Generally, when I see articles about academics, if they teach a language, that language is usually linked.  Ergo Sum  00:07, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
 * You link pastor in the lead but not prefect, which I would think (with my own knowledge) would be better off the other way round?
 * Linked prefect.  Ergo Sum  00:07, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
 * " a meridian circle.[12][1]" ref order.
 * Reordered.  Ergo Sum  00:08, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
 * " him the $2,000" perhaps a little coarse, but this might have been a considerable sum, hard to say, but is it worth using the inflation template to give us a view of what that means in 2019 $?
 * I've taken your advice and used Inflation. It's a considerable sum in 2018 dollars.  Ergo Sum  00:28, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Nothing more on the recovery or nature of injuries from the stagecoach crash?
 * I only find the one source that talks about the accident, and I've included pretty much everything it says.  Ergo Sum  00:09, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
 * " in Frederick, Maryland in " comma after Maryland.
 * Done.  Ergo Sum  00:09, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
 * "Church in Frederick, Maryland as an" ditto.
 * It seems there is already a comma there.  Ergo Sum  00:10, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
 * "Very shortly thereafter" reads a little odd to me, "very"? Perhaps better to quantify it rather than use this verbiage?
 * Rephrased.  Ergo Sum  00:11, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
 * "Inigoes, Maryland with" comma after Maryland.
 * Done.  Ergo Sum  00:12, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
 * "Fenwick Hall at the College..." caption is a complete sentence so needs a period.
 * Done.  Ergo Sum  00:12, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
 * "in Worcester, Massachusetts o" comma after Massachusetts.
 * Done.  Ergo Sum  00:13, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
 * " main building, Fenwick Hall and " I also think a comma after Hall would work here.
 * Quite right. Indeed, it is supposed to be a subordinate clause, so a comma is required. Too bad even with the offsetting commas, English cannot make unambiguous whether that is a list or subordinate clause.  Ergo Sum  00:14, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
 * "discussions had occurred about " never keen on "occurred", "took place" is my pref.
 * I think today most copyeditors would actually go the other way, opting for verbal brevity.  Ergo Sum  00:15, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Well certainly for me when something "occurs", it's usually spontaneous, passive, etc whereas most of these such uses are for things that have actually been actively organised and taken place. That's my take. The Rambling Man (REJOICE!) 09:05, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
 * "Photograph of Stonestreet from the studio of Brady-Handy" very picky but where is this "from the studio..." referenced?
 * The Commons description as well as the link to the LOC source from which the image came gives an explanation. The Brady and Handy worked together as well as independently throughout their careers. Therefore, it is not known which of them actually composed many photographs. The Library of Congress has a collection of ones in this situation. The two photographers operated out of the same building, even while they were independent. Hence, I refer to this situation in short as the "Brady-Handy studio."  Ergo Sum  00:19, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
 * "This testimony occurred against" again, "took place"...
 * Ditto from above.  Ergo Sum  00:16, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Succession box looks like it's using em-dashes instead of en-dashes for the year ranges.
 * Right you are. Fixed.  Ergo Sum  00:20, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I've gone through all your comments. It's good to have you back.  Ergo Sum  00:28, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Setting aside the stylistic issue, this is very much good to go. Passed, good work. The Rambling Man (REJOICE!) 10:25, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
