Sources
Many sources are mentioned specifically in the text and captions above. In general:
- The primary sources were (duh) digitized period newspapers, found in several online repositories.
- After sustained prodding, both Ancestry.com and FamilySearch.com yielded supplemental information.
- Munsell's 1882 History of Queens County, New York provided background material.
- The flintlock dueling pistol shown at the beginning of the article is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The image I used was excerpted from a photograph of a boxed pair, found on Wikimedia Commons.
