| Hey Dr U, question for ya. How can ] be a bigamist if 1) her husband abandoned her in 1724, yet 2) she was in a merely ''common law'' marraige with Ben Franklin starting six years later? That doesn't seem to me to be the traditional definition of a bigamist. ] 05:52, 7 October 2006 (UTC) | |||

| :::I read it, but it doesn't address the status of common law marraige in pre-Revolutionary America. Furthermore, I've found other sources (the Franklin Institute) that state her first husband was presumed dead in 1727, which seems may render the whole issue moot anyway. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I'm completly right, but it seems debateable that this woman was a practicing bigamist. I guess it depends on what the laws in 1720's Pennsylvania were on divorce, abandonment, and spouses that were presumed dead. Under these conditions though, it seems that if she were alive, she could have grounds for a lawsuit against Misplaced Pages for libel by labelling her as a bigamist. I really believe she should be taken out of that category at least until those laws are clarified. ] 07:50, 7 October 2006 (UTC) | |||
| == Serial Killer == | |||
| "killing more than one person, at different times, is serial killing where I'm from" - I'm sorry but that's ludicrous. That would make any soldier who killed more than once in combat a serial killer. Or a police officer who had to shoot more than one criminal in the course of his career. ] 21:06, 23 November 2006 (UTC) | |||
