Greene County Gazette
I am about to remove a line of text that says the Greene County Gazette was published "as early as 1823". While there is a cited source that says so, there are three more reliable sources that say it started publication in 1830 and lasted only 2 or 3 years. If someone wants to incorporate this into the article that is fine but the existing sentence is erroneous and badly sourced.


 * In May, 1830, Jacob I. Cribbs conducted the Greene County Gazette at Erie. If the old saying to the effect that "the good die young" is applicable to newspapers, The Gazette must have been a very proper and well-behaved periodical, for its existence extended over a period of only three years.
