"Projector"?
[edit]The source contains the words "in this county of which he was the projector". What does this mean? -- The Anome (talk) 12:13, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
Military career?
[edit]Sources describe him as "General H. H. Boyce" etc. Presumably this was in the American Civil War? Are there records of this? This page lists a Henry Harrison Boyce who fought in the Civil War, ending at the rank of captain; the full name, city and date of death match, but is this him? If so, the image on that site is probably of him, and in the public domain becuase of its age.
Looking at the non-WP:RS https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Boyce-1908 , the state, but not the place, of birth, also lines up with the Civil War site. It also more-or-less lines up with the comment in https://www.jstor.org/stable/26367109?seq=1 that he "enlisted at age twenty as a private from Illinois".
And here's a mention of "General Henry Harrison Boyce, who served under Grant during the Civil War." .
There's also a mention of a General H. H. Boyce in "History of the 7th Infantry Regiment, Company B (San Diego City Guard), National Guard of California 1888-1917" was "General" perhaps a title from this time? -- The Anome (talk) 12:21, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
Accusation of bribery
[edit]One Henry Harrison Boyce was accused of bribery, in the Congressional Record for June 5, 1900, see here -- is this the same person as the subject of the article? -- The Anome (talk) 13:25, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
