Acadia Plantation

Acadia Plantation is near Thibodaux, Louisiana (not Alexandria). [1]Ally3.14 (talk) 21:50, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

And not only that, but we had Acadia Plantation created a year ago. It's on the National Register of Historic Places Listings. Thank you so much for catching this and posting about it here. — Maile (talk) 22:16, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Bowie's kids

Hopewell, combining historical and genealogical sources, provided detailed information about Bowie's children. Davis, reviewing the evidence later (pp 682-683), found that the genealogical information originated from a novel published in 1951. The historical evidence regarding the children is scarce and inconsistent. Better to say nothing.159.83.196.1 (talk) 22:48, 24 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Edmondson, who referenced both Hopewell and Davis, discussed the evidence of Bowie's children on pages 291-292. He concluded that the question seems to be destined to remain an enduring riddle.159.83.196.1 (talk) 23:44, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
