Why "[[DeWitt Clinton|De Witt Clinton]]"? Is the name "De Witt Clinton" the correct one? If so, shouldn't DeWitt Clinton be moved? -- Oliver P. 16:16, 19 Aug 2003 (UTC)

because DeWitt and George are two different people, nephew and uncle respectively?

Who is 'Cato'

Entries under 'Cato' (anti-federalist author) point to George Clinton as 'widely believed' to be the author of those papers. Meanwhile, I find reference on the web to Rev. William Smith, prominant Tory Philadelphian as the author of the letters signed 'Cato' to which Thomas Paine responded under the pen name, 'Forrester' in his defense of 'Common Sense.' I know of no evidence for either of these attributions. Could someone provide a few words of clarification? Perhaps another entry on the 'Cato' disambiguation page?

Herbert Storing is the main scholar who points to Clinton as Cato; others, including Albert Furtwangler and Linda De Pauw have disputed that attribution. I've noted the attribution of the Clinton-Cato connection in the article. I don't know of the William Smith claim, but I will look into it when I write the articles for the anti-federalists.

3rd Governor??

New York numbers its Governors via 'individual', not via 'office tenure'. Clinton was 'never' the 3rd Governor of New York. GoodDay (talk) 16:33, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Page name

This page was moved to 'Vice President George Clinton' and I then moved it back. If anyone thinks it should be named differently, then let's discuss it here please. --AndrewHowse (talk) 03:47, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Forefather of?

So is this guy a forefather to the present Clintons (Bill) or not? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mkruijff (talk • contribs) 09:37, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I second the request. Is Bill Clinton related to George Clinton? 72.67.35.97 (talk)

Calendar

We show Washington, Jefferson et al with their Gregorian calendar birth dates, even though were born before 1752 when the calendar changed. I believe we should do the same for George Clinton and other V-Ps born before 1752, but I can't find any info on whether "26 July 1739" is a Julian date or a Gregorian date. Any ideas? -- JackofOz (talk) 12:05, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
