message: Not worthy of comment in the main article, but perhaps of interest to a passing researcher, might be the auction, on 3 February 1873, by Messrs. Christie, Manson & Woods, of “The Cellar of Very Fine Old Wines of John Pender, Esq., M.P. Comprising Upwards of 1100 Dozens, and consisting of about 240 Dozens of Sherry including some very rare Parcels of the Vintages of 1820 and 1826; about 600 Dozens of Fine Old Ports of the Vintages of 1820, 1834,1838, 1839, 1844, 1846, 1847, 1850, 1851, 1852, 1854,1858, 1862; and choice Bins of Old Madeira, Claret, Hock, Champagne, Burgundy, Sauterne, and Liqueurs”.

Talk:John Pendleton

message: I can't find any slaves held by this particular Pendleton in either the 1850 census nor 1860 federal censuses. While he was abroad for part of the time, slaves could be hired out (with appropriate annotations) and any attached to particular plantations should show. William J. Pendleton was a major slaveowner in Louisa County, as were Joseph K. Pendleton  and Joseph W. Pendleton; John O Pendleton owned many slaves in Albemarle County and John T. Pendleton owned slaves in Spotsylvania county--all in the 1860 census. I don't see any slaveowners of that surname in Orange nor Rappahannock Counties, although two Culpeper slaveowners were Susan Pendleton and Jack Pendleton, and Thornton Pendletown owned slaves in Clarke CountyJweaver28 (talk) 20:12, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

Talk:John Rennie the Younger

message: I have removed a section of the article about an exhibition in 2007.  It is not clear whether it refers to the original site of London Bridge or the site in Arizona; either way, it probably belongs better in London Bridge if anyone can provide a proper reference for it.
The legacy of Sir John Rennie will soon be brought to life again, at the very place his soul lies, London Bridge. In the vaults of the foundations of the Rennie bridge in late 2007, a new attraction will open which will bring to life the spirit of the legend that is London Bridge. The Rennie bridge may well be alive and kicking in Lake Havasu Arizona U.S.A. but the exhibition, live re-enactments and scary ride of the new attraction will help to keep the history of people like Rennie alive. The attraction is situated opposite London Bridge station, on the south side of the bridge.

Talk:John Reynell

message: I stumbled on this page due to my own research into the glassmakers Chance Brothers (then known as British Crown Glass Co.) I have discovered that a John Reynell worked for Chances from at least 1832 until he departed in 1834. As an employee or an agent, his task was selling window glass to other European countries (he travelled as far as Bohemia) and seemingly was quite good at it - the company had plans for him to continue selling its glass in Australia, but that is where he decided otherwise and left.
Does any of this ring true? The timeline is favourable as he would be around 23 years of age when he was first employed by Chance Brothers.  <spanclass="autosigned" style="font-size:85%;">— Preceding unsigned comment added by GlassyEye (talk • contribs) 14:53, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

Talk:John Selby (cricketer)

message: I had searched for an author named John Selby . His biography at amazon.com  says: 
I'm of cattle ranching origins in California and Arizona, one of the few remaining people who actually did the work of a cowboy while growing up - not so glamorous actually. I was eager to head back east to Princeton - and from then on it was non-stop change ... government-funded psychedelic research in the late sixties ... meditation exploration and working as a therapist in the seventies ... loads of trips south into Indian realms where I felt most at home. Then Europe in the eighties where I found people actually eager to plunge into the deeper mind-management methods I'd been developing.
After a number of fulfilling and enlightening but not-quite-right relationships, finally the love of my life appeared at 37 (I'm just writing a book called Tapping The Heart about the 'finding each other' process) ... and then off to Hawaii to do a family (most fulfilling of all) and go deeper into my own explorations.
During the last decade I've been finalizing my life work in developing short-form meditation' techniques and Focus Phrase methods for quickly quieting the mind and shifting into present-moment full engagement. Quite a number of books have emerged along the way - and now my wife Birgitta and I are producing special 'experiential video' programs that in and of themselves, awaken a meditative present-moment quality of consciousness.
I've just sold the book rights to a series that really fulfills my writing life, based on the insights of Charles Haanel merged with my pragmatic methods for manifesting a satisfying life experience. Loads happening.

Talk:Lloyd Groff Copeman

message: It would appear that Lloyd Groff Copeman was only one of several developers of the electric stove. The "Electric Stove" article in Wikipedia, "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_stove", indicates that such a stove was invented by Thomas Ahearn of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada as noted in this extract:
"Canadian inventor Thomas Ahearn filed patent number no. 39916 in 1892 for an "Electric Oven," a device he probably employed in preparing a meal for an Ottawa hotel that year. Ahearn and Warren Y. Soper were owners of Ottawa's Chaudiere Electric Light and Power Company. The electric stove was showcased at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893, where an electrified model kitchen was shown."
Thus, that preceded Copeman's first effort in 1906 by fourteen years.
And that same web-site, "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_stove", states that "in 1897, William Hadaway was granted US patent # 574537 for an "Automatically Controlled Electric Oven".								
Then, also from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_stove", is mentioned another electric stove invention before the Copeman, Hadaway, and Ahearn inventions: "On September 20, 1859, George B. Simpson was awarded US patent #25532 for an 'electro-heater' surface heated by a platinum-wire coil powered by batteries. In his words, useful to "warm rooms, boil water, cook victuals...".

message: Many family histories claim an ancestor was related to the famous American pioneer Daniel Boone without presenting any evidence of how they were related. This also appears to be true for the John Shields family. Boone and Shields hunted and trapped together, but Shields was already known for being a great hunter who helped Lewis and Clark travel to the Oregon Coast and back. Boone probably loved hearing the first hand stories that Shields had to tell. Boone had never seen a grizzly bear, Shields might have been one of the hunters that killed a grizzly bear in 1805.
