Talk:Jethro Sumner

Sumner image
The image was uploaded to Ancestry by a relative, Jim Sumner. While some sources on Ancestry.com are not reliable, I feel certain this one is, although a second citation (like a picture in a book) would certainly be more preferable. --EditorExtraordinaire (talk) 11:05, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
 * While your efforts are appreciated, that image is wildly inaccurate in a number of ways. The uniform depicted is that of a mid-late 19th century general, with the construction and epaulettes being those that you would find on a Mexican American war uniform.  The presence of a beard is also a mid-late 19th century factor.  After doing some research, that is a litho of Edwin Vose Sumner from an issue of Harper's Weekly.

 * Good work, Cdtew. I thought that beard looked a bit suspect myself (more like a Civil War-era or later look). My confidence in what I find on Ancestry is dwindling by the minute! With that in mind, I am also most appreciative of the work of Materialscientist in quickly reverting the image. Lesson learned: I will do more research myself on matters of this sort. --EditorExtraordinaire (talk) 23:40, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
