		John had difficulty with his stepmother and told his maternal aunt in his youth that "he believed his mother wiles was a witch and told her storys of his mother." As with Swett, John Jr.
		Massachusetts, in order to make her expectations clear, drew up a communiqué and sent it with Clarke: New York would neither interfere with the prosecution of the plans to attack the Indians by the Massachusetts forces nor would they deal with the Indians themselves, which would put to disadvantage the Massachusetts government.
		John Markany [McKenny] was shot "throug the brest and back" during the battle but was found on the payroll in September of the same year, which does not allow time for much convalescence; it also shows that he was more than likely garrisoned there rather than impressed for the mission.

	Historical documents regarding corporate personhood
		Below is the letter from Supreme Court Chief Justice Morrison Remick Waite to court reporter J.C. Bancroft Davis informing Davis that it didn't much matter whether or not he included a comment about the arguments before the court that corporations were persons "as we avoided meeting the constitutional questions in the decision."
		The decision did not rule that corporations are persons: Davis added it in the headnotes (commentary) on his own, and subsequent courts have incorrectly based decisions since 1886 on the headnotes and not the case.
		Davis writes, after quoting language stating that corporations are persons, "please let me know whether I correctly caught your comments and oblige [reply]."

		Kerry hopes to move to the middle this fall, in the way most successful presidential candidates do, he will have to fight this week against the impression that he is the liberal nominee of a liberal party meeting in the mecca of liberalism.
