Talk:Mildred Gale

Untitled

not sure about this one but i heard she was burried with a black slave woman, apparently one of the first

She was buried somewhere in the grounds of St Nicholas' Church, Whitehaven, her plaque has no mention of being buried with a black slave women however

============

Please don't delete the information on Mildred Warner Gale. As the grandmother of George Washington, she is obviously important, especially for people researching the history of American presidents. Her life shows an interesting link between between England and America.

Notability, etc.

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

This article is currently in the backlog of the Notability wikiproject, and I'm trying to assess its notability. Actually, at the moment no reliable sources are cited in the article (no biographies, etc.), so notability by WP:BIO is not established.

The one point that would make this woman notable is that she was the grandmother of George Washington. I understand that many biographies of George Washington will at least mention her name; but can someone provide a source with substantial coverage about her?

Also, what confuses me is that the articles George Washington and George Washington's early life do not even mention her name, nor do they link to here. So maybe she is not that notable after all? Maybe the M.G. article should be linked from there? Or maybe it should be merged to somewhere else? Your opinions are welcome; please add your comments below. --B.

• Unfortunately there was no answer to the expert review (I'm closing it now). Still, I think it should be noted that notability is not inherited. George Washington is certainly notable, but that does not automatically imply the same for his grandmother. Independent sources should be added to the article, for example a biography, at least a chapter or so that contains in-depth coverage Mildred Gale. For the time being, I will add a notability tag with a "fresh" date counter (old date was Oct 06). The article should be reconsidered after while when sources have (or have not) been found. --B.

Washington Family Researcher

I am one of those folks researching this family and find these "unnotable" people reveal great knowledge about genealogy and history plus revealing sources I have not thought of. with that said: PLEASE do not consider removing this article anymore than you would consider throwing a book away simply because it was not written by someone notable. I, not being verbose in this environment, request that her name MILDRED GALE be changed to, AT LEAST, Mildred WARNER Gale. IF this article remains it should do so in a way that is easier to find the individual by posting all female's MAIDEN names. Many women during that time remarried several times as men didn't live that long back then. With that said, I had to do further research before finding Mildred Gale as I was researching Mildred Warner. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bstevenson1960 (talk • contribs) 17:11, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
