'"First"' Comptroller of the Treasury?[edit]

The article on Oliver Wolcott, Jr. states that Wolcott held this office in 1791, a decade before Duvall. Was "First" merely part of the title, when Duvall held the office? bd2412 T 13:55, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Transcription error?[edit]

According to his biographer, Irving Dillard, in his last few years on the Court, Duvall was "so deaf as to be unable to participate in conversation." Prof. Currie retorts that: " There is no proof . . . that Duvall was either dead or unable to speak while on the Court . . . ."

The word “dead” was here when the quote was introduced by Savidan, but it is either mistranscribed or out of context. -Ahruman (talk) 09:44, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Gabriel Duvall[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Gabriel Duvall's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
