Inconsistency between sources

Latest comment: 17 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

The 1911 Britannica entry notes that Tryon moved to London in 1652 (see link). However, according to Aithen (1889), he moved in 1651 (see link). Which is more reliable and which date should be noted? -- Black Falcon ^(Talk) 04:17, 14 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

He was born in September 1634 and moved to London at the age of eighteen according to his memoirs, so 1651 cannot be correct. 89.49.159.255 12:52, 8 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Remark

Latest comment: 4 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Tyron was a beaver hat maker (DNB s.v. Tyron), which eventually caused the virtually extermination of these animals. He traveled as far as to the Antillas "making beavers". He earned his living (lifelong) processing the skins of animals exclusively killed for the purposes of fashion and military equipment, beaver hats being part of the standard equipment of the military at the time.

This seems to be a somewhat blatant contradiction to his professed vegetarianism. What did his coevals made of this inconsistency? tkp — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.243.121.185 (talk) 20:40, 20 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

This article makes no reference to Tryon as a sugar merchant, nor his and his descendants association with Barbados. Additional references have been added to balance the over reliance on a few sources. This article needs to be reviewed and acknowledgement made of Tryon's less than salutary life. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MeeMaa1 (talk • contribs) 15:31, 15 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
