 * Delete. This was part of a series of vandalism by and editor who entered the subject as "mayor of Burlington, Vermont", which he is not, and "mayor" of Colchester, Vermont which is a town and does not have a mayor. In the best of all possible worlds, this would be a candidate for quick deletion which apparently no longer exists. Student7 (talk) 13:53, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep The article may have started as vandalism but it now appears to be a legitimate article about a relative of Abraham Lincoln who played a notable role in his 1860 campaign. Cullen328 (talk) 17:26, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
