Place of birth

[edit]

Conner was born somewhere in today's Tuscarawas County, Ohio. Some sources suggest 'Schoenbrunn', other 'Lichtenau'. --Camptown 22:20, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Clarified the discrepancy in article content; sources don't agree on his birthplace. Rosalina523 (talk) 17:55, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Identification of Tecumseh

[edit]

A rather minor inconsistency, but it says in this article Connor was the man to have identified the body of Tecumseh after his death (and it's just appeared on the DYK panel stating that), while in the Tecumseh article, it says his body was never found. Which is correct? Neither article seems to have a particular reference to the matter. RonaldDonald33 23:04, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Following the Battle of the Thames, Conner was among those who identified the body, but the discrepancy is whether the identified body, which had been severely mutiliated, was actually Tecumseh's. Some do not believe that is was and have challenged the assertion. The Tecumseh article provides details. Rosalina523 (talk) 18:00, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
