Talk:Isabel Florence Hapgood

Birth date
In the document A linguistic bridge... given as reference, there is a footnote that reads:
 * In all biographical sources consulted, her birth year is given as 1850; but Warren Hapgood, author of The Hapgood Family: Descendants of Shadrach 1656-1898 (Boston: T.B. Hapgood, 1898), 257, gives it as 1851. Since Isabel’s parents were married in New York in the spring of 1850, and she did not correct her birth date in her own copy of Warren’s book (while making several other corrections in the margins of that copy), we may accept November 21, 1851 as the correct date. See also Hoke, 5.

Based on this I am going to correct her birth date. Carlos (talk) 04:27, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
