This article merges two George Minors

Latest comment: 2 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I think there are two distinct George Minors described here, the one who was the Chief of Ordinance and Hydrography for the Confederate Navy in the Civil War and the composer. The birth date in 1845 gives it away. Sixteen would be pretty young indeed for the Chief of Ordinance of a navy. I think the Chief of Ordinance is this guy: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/11717976/george-minor. I think the composer is this guy: https://hymnary.org/person/Minor_GA. In other words, the dates of birth and death are correct in the article for the composer. Jsandoe (talk) 21:35, 19 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
