She was of mixed Scottish/English ancestory was she not? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.189.154.175 (talk) 15:53, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
this is not a good website
"She is the first United States-born person to be canonized." Well strictly, no she isn't; she was born in 1774, before the United States was founded. As far as I can tell, Katharine Drexel is the only Roman Catholic saint so far to have been born in the U.S. —Angr 14:09, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
- Seton was canonized in 1975. Drexel was canonized in 2000. The reference is to the date of canonization, not to her birth. She was a U.S. citizen. The wording, however, can be changed to more accurately represent that fact. --Strothra 04:35, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
- The wiki page on Mother Cabrini claims that she was the first American citizen to be canonized, in the 1950's, and that appears to me to be the case. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 132.170.38.71 (talk) 19:50, 28 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Herman Melville
I've heard from a friend that Herman Melville was born in Seton's backyard, or something like that. He says he was wandering behind 7 State Street in Manhattan (where there is a shrine to Mrs. Seton) and found a plaque asserting that the author of Moby-Dick was born in a location behind the shrine. Is that true? 68.36.214.143 01:03, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Trimming down external links
This was quite long. I pulled all those dealing with schools named after Seton. They belong on the respective schools' articles if those exist, not here. --BrokenSphereMsg me 04:52, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Better picture
I took this picture the other day when there was good light and that's why I think it came out better than the one already in the article. Any opinions? Jim.henderson (talk) 05:09, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
- Not only that, the angle is better since it shows the entire front of the house vs. the current one. I'll migrate it to Commons for you so that other language Wikipedias also have access to it. Even if no project at all uses it, it won't get deleted. BrokenSphereMsg me 15:51, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

- Thanks. So, I moved it into this article but none of the others which the old photo illistrates. As a novice shutterbug I only find about one in fifty of my pictures worthy of illustrating an article. Should I open a Commons account to upload, not all the others but perhaps one in ten, in raw form rather than cropped and contrast corrected like this one?

[edit] Elizabeth Ann Started Sisters of Charity
Elizbeth Ann seton had really rough life to start Siters of Charity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.45.40.69 (talk) 20:48, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
