The article states "Vaile shrewdly built his wealth by investing in several business ventures, including the construction of the Erie Canal", yet the canal was completed in 1825, six years before he was born. Perhaps this should read "including the operation" of the canal? Saratoga Sam (talk) 04:23, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
