Notable enough? edit

Is a single inn from the mid 19th Century notable enough to have an encyclopedia article written about it? I would think James G. King's Highwood would be a more notable subject for a Wikipedia article, because of the notability of its owner/builder and his guests. The Tribune 1842 newspaper column about the 'Mountain Pavilion' is the only in-depth mention of the place and there is the short paragraph in Historic houses of New Jersey mentioning Daniel Webster but I have found nothing else (so far) that is in-depth about the Pavilion/Pavillion and its builder Colonel Jessup. --Shearonink (talk) 05:38, 24 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Is it possible the place was also called the Weehawken House? --Shearonink (talk) 05:49, 24 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Would seem so, since Jessup is also mentioned in the Tribune review as being a fine host. Fact from above-that he recovered his health, despite prognosis at location-would be of interest here, one thinksDjflem (talk) 10:44, 24 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Just wondering, when does one, as myself, know that notability has been achieved. It seems that on many of my "launches" that is the main concern. Has this passed the muster? --Wikipietime (talk) 03:20, 25 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

An entry for Weehawken House with a redirect to Mountain Place would seem in order. I will undertake, if no objection.--Wikipietime (talk) 17:25, 25 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

Researching for expansion of article. Update Wikipietime (talk) 19:20, 4 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

Colonel Jessup lineage edit

Seems reasonable that would be related to Edward Jessup, researching. "The King's Loyal Americans Commanded by Ebeneezer Jessup, and raised in 1776. The Jessups were a wealthy merchant family from the Grand Falls area, 45 miles north of Albany; other family members involved in the corps were Edward and Joseph. Jessup's Corps took part in the ill-fated Burgoyne Campaign in 1777" http://www.nyhistory.net/drums/kingsmen.htm

I have concluded that it must be Silas H. Jessup, http://www.nytimes.com/1860/09/06/news/republican-mass-meeting-jersey-city-speeches-senator-ten-eyck-gov-pennington.html?pagewanted=all https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jessup_connection_to_Weehawken.jpg


and think refining the article to reflect should be considered. He was a vice president of the Wide Awakes and thus, cite-able sources exist for possible article on Jessup.
