I just removed this section.

Some have tried to claim that Mrs. Morris had helped write Wyoming's suffrage bill, but consensus among historians is that she had nothing to do with the law. William Bright was the only author.

Since no one on wikipedia is making this claim there is no reason to talk about what Morris did NOT do. Carptrash 06:38, 25 January 2006 (UTC) Oh yes, I also suspect that this article might be a C&P, but it is also possible that what I found was a mirror. No one said that life would be easy.Reply

--Gerry 12:37, 30 May 2007 (UTC)Dates don't add up. Born in 1814, but 80 in 1881 and 101 in 1902? I suspect the birth date is in error.Reply

WikiProject class rating edit

This article was automatically assessed because at least one article was rated and this bot brought all the other ratings up to at least that level. BetacommandBot 11:32, 27 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

I checked other websites and found that most give her birth year as 1814, although the most authoritative (Wyoming state archives), gives it as 1812. Anyway, the only other reference I found to the national suffrage convention gives that year as 1895, instead of 1881, consistent with her being 80 at the time, so I changed that. I also added three external links and updated the one that was there. Ckeavney 02:44, 16 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Year of birth edit

Multiple reliable sources state Morris was born in 1814. In addition to the two cited in the article, see:[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] The 2019 biography by Cummings seems to be the only source that states Morris was born in 1812. As such, I've restored the 1814 date to the article and added a footnote to call out the alternate claim, sourced to Cummings. Schazjmd (talk) 19:39, 24 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
