Talk:Edward G. Walker

Charlestown

I'm unable to find a reliable source for this info - and it's definitely not the original cited source, which showed them living on Southac in Beacon Hill by 1848. And, the places that I found on the internet are unreliable or based their info on this article.

• In the early 1840s, Alexander, Eliza, and her son Edwin, moved from Southac Street on the north side of [[Beacon Hill, Boston|Beacon Hill]] to Charlestown near the [[Bunker Hill Monument]] and next door to equal rights and justice activists [[Thomas Dalton (abolitionist)|Thomas and Lucy Dalton]].{{citation needed|reason=Black Boston database shows the Dewson's living on Southac Street (Beacon Hill)|date=April 2013}}

It's interesting, does anyone have a reliable source for this info?--CaroleHenson (talk) 21:25, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

Hawaii

Does anyone have a source for this: Alexander Dewson arrived in Massachusetts from Hawaii in the 1830s,

In scouting around:

• Alexander's estate received an inheritance in Alex's name from William H. Boardman who was a successful global trader / merchant (if I'm understanding correctly).
• There's some mention that Alexander had been a sailor - so perhaps he had been in Hawaii on a sailing trip.

Any help would be great!--CaroleHenson (talk) 21:29, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

Request for rewording

In the Early life section, the following phrase doesn't make sense: "...and she lost in this very city, when a man of color dies, if he owned any real estate it most get the home." Could someone please reword this so it conveys its intended meaning? Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 13:30, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
