Talk:Stephen DeLancey

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have moved this article from Etienne DeLancey and performed some slight editing.

As DeLancey anglicized his name to Stephen upon arriving in America, it seemed ony appropriate to call him by the name he called himself. Further, as he is known for his activities in New York, and not France, the vast majority of readers will be looking for Stephen not Etienne.

Additionally, I have reformatted the article into three sections.

I also removed some repetitive links and added new ones.

Finally, there were some minor spelling and punctuational corrections to be made (eg: "wharehouse" to "warehouse" / "hiers" to "heirs").

He still signed his name Etienne de Lancey after he came to America and after he was naturalized. The article should be called Stephen DeLancey since it is the name by which other people commonly knew him. BradMajors (talk) 23:25, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] State Senator

The article states he was a State Senator (backed with a citation), but this can not be true since during this time period there was no State Senate. BradMajors (talk) 23:29, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
