Re: Benjamin Stoddert entry (First Secretary of the Navy) The page currently lists his service as Secretary of the Navy as beginning May 1, 1798. Yet the adjacent sidebar lists it under his picture as beginning June 18, 1798. Possible reasons (other than simple error) might be: date John Adams nominated him, when his nomination was sent to the Senate and when he was confirmed by the Senate. Also, his birth year is listed at 1751 and his age at death 61-62 years of age. Yet the picture of his tombstone on the site shows the tombstone as stating his age at death as "69 years". I can't resolve these minor issues, but thought the page might at least indicate the inconsistencies shown on the page. Bob Schadler
