Thoughts on sourcing

[edit]

Ajraddatz, I'd appreciate your thoughts on the sourcing here. The Dictionary of Canadian Biography lists the early events in his career (admission to the bar and clerkship) as happening in the 1760s while the other source here lists it as the 1750s.

I've looked at some other sources, and I think the 1760s date is correct. Records from this time can get messy, and there seems to be a lot of confusion in the sources over the distinction between Richard Gibbons I, II, and III - this article addressing Richard Gibbons II, while Richard Gibbons III is also notable in his own regard. I'll expand this draft a bit later today or tomorrow. -- Ajraddatz (talk) 20:02, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Some of the sourcing on who appears to be Gibbons III calls him Gibbons II, so there is indeed some confusion there. I'll work on the bits that can be included from what I have. Your help and collaboration would be appreciated :) TonyBallioni (talk) 20:06, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
