The article makes it appear that J.W. Revere is the son of Paul Revere. Isn't he the son of Paul Revere, Jr.? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wkharrisjr (talk • contribs) 14:23, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, Joseph W. Revere was indeed the son of Paul Revere (and the brother of Paul Jr.) Huphelmeyer (talk) 17:22, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Joseph W. Revere is the Grandson of Paul Revere, this is from the article itself "Joseph Warren Revere was born in 1812 to the youngest son of Paul Revere" I don't know what I need to put, but if any of you would like to make it any clearer go ahead.

Gotcha. Obviously it needs to be clearer. I will clear it up.Wkharrisjr (talk) 14:13, 6 March 2009 (UTC)wkharrisjr[reply]

He fought the Mexicans, then he joined their Army?![edit]

This needs a _little_ more explanation, I would say. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.211.129.121 (talk) 16:53, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
