Was he ever married?[edit]

There is no information in the article about whether he was married. Was he ever married? He obviously had at least a daughter but was she out of wedlock as several of the founding fathers had? Stevenmitchell (talk) 13:35, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Is external link necessary?[edit]

While it is useful or at least interesting to note that Hamilton stayed with Livingston for one winter in the New Jersey section, the sentence containing this cited the blog "Where Did Alexander Hamilton Live While Attending Grammar School in Elizabethtown, New Jersey? - Discovering Hamilton" retrieved 2018-01-30, and referenced a link to an external URL. I updated the sentence by citing the two original sources from John Church Hamilton's books (which were cited in the blog), corrected the period we know Hamilton was actually at Livingston's home from one year to one winter, and put in the name of Francis Barbara's Grammar School. Now the link to the external URL is not necessary. As interesting as the blog post is, the link may break in the future if the blog is discontinued. The official polity is that, "Some acceptable links include those that contain further research that is accurate and on-topic, information that could not be added to the article for reasons such as copyright or amount of detail, or other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article for reasons unrelated to its accuracy." Given the additional information in the blog post with its images makes it suitable for external linkage, I left it in when I corrected the sentence?

Signed Continental Association, Articles of Confederation[edit]

William Livingston served in the First and Second Continental Congresses. In the First, he signed the Continental Association, 1774. In the Second, he resigned in June 1776 before the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. While serving as New Jersey's governor, 1776-1790, he attended the Constitutional Convention and signed the Constitution.

The lead indicates Livingston signed the Articles of Confederation and Constitution. The Articles needs to be changed to the Continental Association. The lead probably should also mention Livingston's service in both the First and Second Congresses instead of simply the "Continental Congress". Allreet (talk) 14:39, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Changed AofC to Continental Association. Good find. Randy Kryn (talk) 09:57, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
