Elizabeth Freeman's husband
I was pleased to see you helping out with the article on Elizabeth Freeman. However, I removed the content you added about Brom being Freeman's husband until we can provide sources to support that. To my knowledge, the most authoritative publication on Freeman's life is "One Minute a Free Woman" by Piper and Levinson. They were unable to establish the identity of the father of Freeman's daughter or find any records of a marriage. Catherine Sedgwick is unreliable as a historical source since she was more interested in telling a good story, glossing over social compromises, and promoting liberal values than relating historical facts (though we do use Sedgwick as a source for quotations). If you have a good source for Brom's role as husband let's discuss it on the article's talk page. Thanks again for contributing. Joja lozzo  15:34, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
