Untitled
editThis title includes a "detailed timeline" that requires many additions. I was doing a quick search to learn when he visited Portsmouth, NH and was surprised that his time in New England (I believe August - September 1824) does not appear. Northhillnh (talk) 19:30, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
Gachet House visit
editThe visit to the Benjamin Gachet house has been disproved by historical research. Diaries/journals show that the Marquis did not visit the home of Benjamin Gachet because he didn't have a home in (now) Lamar county. His home in 1825 was Jones county, where he likely did have a visit from the Marquis. [1]

- Removing Gachette House reference. No discussion in one year. Other sources refer to NSDAR claim of Lafayette visit which has been proven false by modern historians, see above. Cotton2 (talk) 03:06, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
Visit to Monticello
editPer discussion on that article's talk page, I've copied a section of the article Thomas Jefferson to here about L's visit to Monticello. That article's history can be consulted for authorship attribution. Cheers, Khazar2 (talk) 19:52, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
"Apparent Conference of a Doctor of Laws"
editThe given date for the conference predates the existence of any institution by the name of "the university of Maryland," and indeed seems to be a spoof claim worthy of removal. 47.133.87.217 (talk) 07:52, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
