Talk:Henry Antes

Uncited content
There was a lot of uncited content and a five-year-old more references tag. I removed the tag and the content in this edit.–CaroleHenson (talk) 22:08, 8 August 2021 (UTC)


 * I added content from Appletons' (with inline citations) and found that a lot of the uncited content came from the article, but it was sometimes duplicated in the article. The duplicated parts are now integrated. What's still not in the article now, based on this diff, is:


 * The name Antes is a Greek paraphrase of the German Blume, adopted as a disguise during the Romanist persecutions of 1620. — I didn't add that because it's better suited to an article about the surname. Seemed out of place in the Biography section.
 * It is more likely that the last name is a shortened form of the name "Antonius. — Ditto. Perhaps original research. There was no citation for this.
 * He signed the deed for Bethlehem on April 2, 1741, conveying 500 acres along the Monocacy Creek from William Allen, the founder of Allentown, Pennsylvania. The original deed of the town of Bethlehem is held in a temperature and humidity controlled vault in the Moravian Archives in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Antes became the business manager for the Moravian colony and engineered the building of mills, buildings and other works. (in the article, just worded a bit differently) The legal care of the communities property and temporal affairs were placed in his hands. a trusted counsellor skilled in the drawing of legal documents. He served as "Baumeister" ("Construction Manager") of the first buildings which still stand in Bethlehem's historic district. — I don't know the source of this
 * In 1752 he purchased 100,000-acre tract on behalf of the Moravians in North Carolina for their colony of Wachovia. — I don't know where this came from, too.–CaroleHenson (talk) 22:26, 8 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Struck out a part that's in the article, but just worded a little differently.–CaroleHenson (talk) 22:29, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
