Not-reliable sources, etc.

[edit]

A note for researchers and editors to initiate discussion to improve this article: With a few exceptions, a master thesis is hardly an authority in the field of humanities, and here one is used (Conerly). But the most serious problem is that such master thesis does not refer to Saunders the way the article pretends it does. Saunders is mentioned in a footnote, and in the shortest possible way. A new source should replace this one. Actually, there is a good number of new scholarly publications on Saunders that should be included here too.

Moreover, there are serious doubts in the scholarly community that Saunders died in Haiti (Harold Van Buren Voorhis, who is cited here as Saunder's biographer, is not a historian). The obituary that came out in the late 1830s in the US is the only source indicating that Saunders migrated to the island and that he had a position in the Haitian government. We know all the names of Boyer's government officers and he is not there. In fact, there is no trace of Saunders yet after 1823, when he wrote to Thomas Clarkson for the last time. Everything else is speculation. There should be a note indicating such a doubt. Caballero/Historiador 21:29, 15 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
