Name spelling mistake

edit

The real name is Eli Ayres.

Wrong date of Death

edit

I guess the date of death is wrong because Eli Ayres was still alive in the 1830s. He was member of the board of managers of the Maryland State Colonization Society, cf. Richard Hall, On Afric's Shore, p. 24. I don't know when he died. — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures--Lucfo (talk) 14:02, 16 October 2019 (UTC)] comment added by Lucfo (talkcontribs) 09:08, 27 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

check The African Repository, vol III, 1828, p. 351. (still alive in 1827 ! and in the 1830s...)

He was not the first colonial agent of the American Colonization Society
