Death of brother Nathaniel

The second paragraph of the Family topic says that Johnny Appleseed's mother died shortly after giving brith to her son Nathaniel and that this baby died shortly after. However, the third paragraph says that Johnny had a half-brother by the name of Nathaniel who lived to the age of at least 11. There should be some clarification here as it seems unlikely that a Johnny's father would name a child Nathaniel after his child of the same name died. In fact, the third paragraph is entirely unsourced and therefore, unreliable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cokusiak (talk • contribs) 03:50, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Reference #20, "Archived copy". Archived from the original on September 25, 2015. Retrieved May 13, 2015. Is an invalid link and should be removed or updated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cokusiak (talk • contribs) 03:55, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It was common practice historically to "re-use" the name of a deceased child; Vincent van Gogh and Ludwig van Beethoven are a couple of high-profile figures from around this time who were named after their dead brothers. We have a (rather poor quality) article on the practice at necronym. ‑ Iridescent 07:05, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Should probably mention Dog Fennel as well

He planted that as well and is now considered a villain by many people for spreading it around. I'll gather sources. - Immigrant laborer (talk) 16:23, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ref is here. Can't quite decide where to put it, though. - Immigrant laborer (talk) 00:33, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You could make a new section called "Criticism". A lot of articles have a section showing opposition views. Personally, when an article has no opposition views, I tend to question the objectivity of the article.
