Speedy deletion[edit]

I'm seeing enough in references that this needs a discussion to bottom out whether notable or not. This book has a footnote with some useful biographical details. This book discusses his case in detail and indicates it was somewhat important in the unfolding events in Boston. Quite a few other books mention him and one book recommends using his case as an exercise for students in assessing primary sources. SpinningSpark 19:09, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
