Talk:Ernest Flagg

Unreliable source
The biographical information relies upon a website detailing the descendants of a Bartholomew Flegg. The website does not provide any indication as to the sources the compiler relied upon; if they are somewhere on the site, they are not linked to the individual entries. Moreover, it is disputed that Bartholomew Flegg is Ernest's direct ancestor. In his genealogical history of New England, Flegg clearly notes that another author has prepared a history of the Fleggs that indicates that the actual direct ancestor was a cousin of Bartholomew's, Allen Flegg. For this reason I added the verify credibility in-line template where the questionable source is cited. Agent 86 (talk) 17:49, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

 * I have deleted mention of and reference citing marriage of daughter to Melcher.--Jacques Bailhé 21:38, 12 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Further research indicates she was indeed married to John Stevens Melcher, as cited in her Wikipedia article. There is also mention of this marriage elsewhere referencing Ancestry.com. I have not restored mention of her marriage since I have no reliable source to cite and it seems incidental to the article on her father, Ernest. I have however, given her full maiden name and referenced she is known professionally as Betsy Flagg Melcher per the Smithsonian website at https://americanart.si.edu/artist/betsy-flagg-melcher-3269 Jacques Bailhé 21:45, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
