Talk:Moses Hazen

message: Scott Mingus: thanks for your contributions regarding Moses Hazen. Was wondering why you deleted the section (which I did not edit!) regarding his troubles with the British, etc. It seemed interesting and seems to tie in to a lot of other biogs of the time. It wasn't all as clear cut as it seems with a few hundred years behind us. 
Specifically: "- At the start of the Revolutionary War, Hazen was living on half-pay in Saint John, New Brunswick. He joined the side of the Americans after being arrested by both the United States and later by the British as a spy during 1775. In 1776 Hazen received a commission as a Colonel of the 2nd Canadian Regiment of the Continental Army. His property in New Brunswick was soon taken by the royal government. Colonel Hazen led his regiment at the battles of Brandywine and Germantown."  
Maybe not terrifically flattering, but seems accurate. You don't agree?Student7 13:54, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

message: It appears that his older brother John was enrolled as a Colonel in Moses' regiment. He helped survey for the Bayley-Hazen Road in Lowell, Vermont (most likely elsewhere as well). Can't really find a way to work this in. Student7 (talk) 01:53, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

message: , I’m afraid that the following passage has confused two separate episodes during the American Revolution - that of Charles Asgill with that of John Andr%C3%A9.   Would editors approve the revised draft which follows, which would involve removing the emboldened sections?  I don’t know how to ‘strike out’, so have emboldened instead.
Following the British surrender, Hazen and his unit were given prisoner guard duty at Lancaster, Pennsylvania.[54] While on this duty, a misstep by Hazen caused a minor diplomatic incident, known as the "Asgill Affair". The British accused an American soldier of spying, and were threatening to hang him. George Washington threatened to hang a British soldier if this happened, and Washington instructed Hazen to choose an officer whose rank was similar to that of the murdered Patriot  Joshua Huddy.  The man he chose by lot, Charles Asgill, should have been ineligible for selection due to the terms of the Yorktown surrender. The accused American was eventually acquitted, but Asgill's plight drew the attention of Marie Antoinette; Washington received a letter from the French foreign minister asking for a pardon.[55] Anne (talk) 23:41, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I have made the adjustments. If it raises any further issues editors should post them here. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 08:39, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thank you for the edit .  I should have found a way to indicate that the edit required a small addition, as well as two deletions, so the following still needs attention please: Washington instructed Hazen to choose an officer whose rank was similar to that of the murdered Patriot  Joshua Huddy.  There have been countless times when these two quite separate stories have become merged, so this one is no exception.  The only similarity is that both British officers' surnames began with "A" and both either went to the "gallows", or were threatened with doing so. Anne (talk) 12:46, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Done, I think. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 12:59, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
