Change Emma Nutt's birth year from 1860 to 1848. Supported by her inclusion in Perry, Washington, Maine's 1860 and 1870 Census. 2601:602:9C01:1DEF:5488:86:BE8C:B3E9 (talk) 03:12, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

 * As the IP user states, the 1860 birth year definitely does seem to be wrong based on census records; unfortunately the same records weren't consistent on her birth year. In the 1880 census, Emma Nutt was living in the household of her father, George and Matilda Nutt, and is listed as being born in 1848. In the 1900 census, Emma was living with her parents and her sister's family (the Everts), and was listed as being born in 1851. In the 1910 census, she was living with her sister and elderly mother, and is back to being listed as born in 1848. So, the census records are inconclusive (although none of them agree with a year of 1860), and they are primary sources anyway. As far as secondary sources, I did find this one from People's World, which gives a birth year of 1851, but I am not sure if it qualifies as a reliable source or not, what do you think?

 * I have no idea, if you feel good about it, action the request. I denied it because because the IP did not provide a source, not because I thought they were wrong. -  FlightTime  ( open channel ) 03:42, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

[sic] on despatch
Despatch appears on wiktionary as a variant of dispatch, and appears in The Pilgrim's Progress. The [sic] makes it sound like some naïve parochialism. 172.92.85.248 (talk) 00:08, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

Emma Nutt DOB
I added a template as the linked source (a 1900 US Census scan) indicates that Emma Nutt was born in 1851. However, the Wikipedia article currently lists "July 1860" as her DOB. Which is correct? In fact, are we even sure the Emma Nutt from the 1900 Census is the same Emma Nutt as this article? --Jnglmpera (talk) 04:44, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
