 * Speedy keep per WP:BEFORE. Subject easily passes WP:GNG. Without being able to see the sources, they look far from trivial, since Adams covers multiple pages in both works. More importantly, he was the subject of a biography by Frances Manwaring Caulkins. StAnselm (talk) 01:48, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep There is nothing that says local histories don't satisfy GNG. This is a stub, but there is potential. --Slugger O&#39;Toole (talk) 13:52, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. Has his entry in a biographical dictionary (vol. 1, p. 20-21). NB. James Levernier makes him born at New London, Conn. Genium. 18:54, Oct 31, 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep I am leery of using well over 100 year old sources, but Genium presents a more recent source that clearly passes muster.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:52, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
