William Harrington, Mexican-American War Veteran
Non-notable person, in my opinion. The speedy delete was contested due to notability of living to 101. Medtopic 03:36, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Weak Delete. If all asserted facts are true, he would be notable.  I suspect, but can't prove, a hoax.  Born in 1800, he was the right age to be a powder monkey in the war of 1812.  But that would make him over 60 during the Civil War, yet he is supposedly a veteran of that war also.  That would be noteworthy.  So why can't I find any references to him on a google search, having tried three different combinations of search terms?  (Of course, if better evidence is made available, let me know on my talk page so I can change my vote accordingly.)  GRBerry 02:43, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
