Hello,
I am not as versed with editing Wikipedia as I should be, so before I create any serious chaos I want to discuss it here. Frankly, Myers (author cited) appears to be wrong with Wister's date of death. Going to the United States' Gazette (as the publication was known in 1804), the Saturday, March 24 1804 issue is where the cited death notice is found. I am not sure how to cite the Newspaper here or if we can cite Myers but still note that he was wrong. Thanks! ~2026-30094-44 (talk) 17:59, 19 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
