message: Does anyone know how to change the default; how to prevent justification between each line or goto 1½ spacing so that footnotes and/or endnotes don't start cramming things together?

message: Why was the detail about a confrontation with students removed?  The edit summaries gave no explanation. Mel Etitis  (Μελ Ετητης) 8 July 2005 08:48 (UTC)
:I couldn't find the cite, so I thought it best to remove those portions until I could either rewrite them, or put in the cite.
:Dunster was forced to resign due to his opposition to infant baptism, but it wasn't really until President Hoar took over in 1672 did the students go back to the "Rah Rah Roger" business: possibly even poisoning the President to death who mysteriously died of a consumption 9 months after he resigned.
:I did read something somewhere else, though, about how they immediately started off on the same foot with Dunster; but I can't find it for right now.

It is better to put it to a separate page, with its own title such as: Nathaniel Eaton (modern)

thread_title:  Modern Nathaniel Eaton 

message: From the beginning this article has had the sentence "He later attended the University of Franeker in Leiden". It may not come as a surprise that the University of Franeker actually was in Franeker, while, perhaps confusingly, in Leiden there is the University of Leiden. He may have attended one or both of them. Perhaps someone can figure that out and fix it. Afasmit (talk) 06:24, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It was Franeker (his dissertation on the Sabbath). Nathaniel has modern descendants. We are working to get the story told correctly (for instance: The Hebraist).jmswtlk (talk) 00:44, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: It is wrong to have Padua before Franeker. So, those sentences are out of order. Nathaniel went to Padua after leaving Virginia which as after Massachusetts. I will correct this in the near future. jmswtlk (talk) 00:42, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: The Thomas Gardner Society, Inc. has Nathaniel Eaton on its research list and will be looking to update this page as we establish and confirm information. The work is part of a larger research topic: History of Harvard. jmswtlk (talk) 18:24, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
thread_title: University of Franeker in Leiden?

message: In 2007, "some Harvard undergraduates" took a look at Harvard and Slavery (see report at harvardandslavery.com). One thing noted was that Nathaniel Eaton had a "Moor" who served him and the students. Also, Nathaniel's wife is said to have mentioned that one complaint of the students was that they had to eat the same food as "the Moor." jmswtlk (talk) 23:51, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Nathaniel's Moor

message: This event is after Virginia and not before Massachusetts. 1647 is one year that I have seen referenced. BTW, this is one motivation (of many) for the interest in Nathaniel: Frank A. Gardner, M.D. (and others I know) is a descendant through his son, Benoni, who was left in Cambridge. Another? Has to do with Harvard and its role (past, present, and future) as seen by those of the community not part of the elite set. jmswtlk (talk) 13:48, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
