[edit]

Who is this article about? Is it about Thomas Contee? Is it about Sarah Fendell? Is it about John Hesselius? Is it about John Hanson? It seems like the author couldn't decide. I've already deleted and redirected the Sarah Fendell article to this one, as it was only a slight rearrangement of the same article and didn't establish any notability of her own. But looking at this article, I'm having a hard time determining what his notability is. There are vague claims about his being a "militia man" and a politician, and mentions of land ownership and slaves, and a record of his ancestry, but what did he do that makes him notable? The simple fact that he lived 200 years ago is not sufficient. Kafziel Talk 22:27, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It would be nice to have the actual sources from which the content of this topic was derived - but like too many topics, it's pasted in from some unknown source. What I see is interesting in the topic is the place names (to relate to other topics), the mention that he was a brother in-law of John Hanson. Most of the other details could be discarded.
