Why the informal introduction?[edit]

Doesn't that violate some sort of standard on Wikipedia articles? This isn't TV Tropes, after all. 97.75.177.149 (talk) 17:42, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Changed, may need to be protected like the article on John Laurens.Jonk382 (talk) 20:41, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I can help to add his birthday! His birthday was September 25, 1740.

Could you provide the source for this information? Ibadibam (talk) 04:18, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

His birthdate seems to be stated in two books-- both The Original American Spies: Seven Covert Agents of the Revolutionary War and Hercules Mulligan, Confidential Correspondent of General Washington, although I'm not sure where the original information came from. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Courfeyracs (talk • contribs) 06:05, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

United States in 1746[edit]

"the family emigrated to the United States in 1746". Huh?Ealtram (talk) 14:45, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed – Ha, it took me a minute to spot the glaring error! I was getting all ready to get my hackles up about an "immigrated to" / "emigrated from" argument before I realized what you were talking about. I've changed it to "North America". Ibadibam (talk) 19:47, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Change the line "He retired in 1820 and died in 1825, aged 85." to "He retired in 1820 and died in 1825, aged 84."

Given he was born on September 25, 1740 and died on March 4, 1825, he lived for 84 years, not 85 as described in the line above. 71.126.133.152 (talk) 04:22, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Done Thank you for pointing that! regards, DRAGON BOOSTER ★ 05:47, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Mulligan Portrait edit request 7 February 2020[edit]

The portrait for this article claiming to be Mulligan is the same portrait used on Charles Carroll of Carollton's entry, see here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Carroll_of_Carrollton

Not sure this is a portrait of Mulligan.
