I've tried to confirm the date of the following event from various sources but have been unable to do so:

1631 - In Dorchester, Massachusetts, John Winthrop takes the oath of office and becomes the first Governor of Massachusetts.

Can anyone confirm it (and clarify date as being Julian or Gregorian). If not, in due course I'll delete it. Arcturus 16:49, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Need real birth and death dates for Saurabh Motwani. I couldn't find them by a quick Google search. RttlesnkeWhiskey 07:18, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Austin Martell

The entry in births, for Austin Martell, Carmel Student, just looks like some one adding themselves or a friend. There is no Wikipedia page for him, nor did I find anything relevant with a Google search of: "Austin Martell" Carmel
