Talk:J. P. Morgan Jr.

Shot by a German professor at Cornell??

According to "Don't Know Much About History" by Kenneth C. Davis (pg. 310) the younger J. P. Morgan was shot by an angry German professor from Cornell University as World War I escalated. I don't see any mention of this in the article... do you think its relevant? (Obviously he survived). Davis suggests these types of issues played a larger role in drawing the U.S. into the war than did the sinking of the Lusitania. Can anyone can confirm this info? If so I'd be happy to update the page.--M. Frederick 15:36, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

This is exactly what I checked the discussion page hoping someone would have already posted. This has been cited in several places as the tipping point for WWI. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.112.172.233 (talk) 18:53, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Date of death

In the first paragraph, Morgan's death is September 9th. Later, the article says he died on his birthday, September 7th. NNDB says he died on March 13th: http://www.nndb.com/people/934/000171421/. Another site says he died on April 13th: http://www.bookrags.com/J._P._Morgan,_Jr.. Which is it? Fishyfred (talk) 05:07, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Chernow's book, The House of Morgan, has his death listed as March 13, 1943. As this is a pretty good source, I'd say this is the correct date. --Robertknyc (talk) 06:28, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Place of birth

Chicago or New York. The article says both. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.8.46.4 (talk) 19:22, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Since NNDB was right once, let's go with it again: http://www.nndb.com/people/934/000171421/. It says Irvington, NY. I'll check out The House of Morgan from the library tomorrow and check. Fishyfred (talk) 07:56, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Alice Morgan

The Alice Morgan article is tiny and contains unsourced statements, and I don't have much hope that it'll ever be much. Whatever is there that can be added here should be. Dawnseeker2000 00:19, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

I agree. It would also be helpful to reconcile the two sentences in this article: The couple had four children: Junius Spencer Morgan III; Henry Sturgis Morgan, a founding partner of Morgan Stanley; Jane Norton Morgan Nichols and Frances Tracy Pennoyer and Morgan had a daughter named Alice. Is there a reliable source for Alice's existence? Cusop Dingle (talk) 19:26, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

I agree. There's not enough there yet for a separate article. Bob Burkhardt (talk) 20:16, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

 Done As there hasn't been much discussion in the two years since it was first tag, and I agree with the three editors who have contributed opinions, I went ahead and merged what little information was in the Alice article to this one.Boneyard90 (talk) 05:31, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

References

What does it mean - "Horn (2000) pp 85-90", "Dayer (1976) pp 130-42"? Is it a name of book, or a name of author? And how can I understand, that these sources are relible?PhilAnG (talk) 20:26, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

This style of citation refers to the surname of the author and the date of publication. The publication details of the articles by Dayer and Horn are given after the footnotes. Cusop Dingle (talk) 20:38, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Alice Morgan

I have removed Alice Morgan from his list of children because I have been unable to find any reliable sources for her existing, this appears to have been a concern back in 2011 and nothing seems to have changed. I would be happy to be proven wrong but all I have found is books on ghosts which are not particularly reliable. Greyjoy ^talk 09:44, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
