All is correct except the typo, according to memory RMH's Father graduated Dartmouth in 1807 Aha! So you admit that a dead man didn't graduate from Dartmouth in 1907.  Doh!  ok.   and was Captain in 1811.  Jonathan's Father was also a prominant Vermonter as I recall and they believed in lead and mercury. Believed in them as deities? Toxic substances? Medications? Dense materials? Sources of coinage? Investment grade metals? Good things to have in your pocket if you want to drown yourself?   Yes to all and I would add:  Lead for the British and Mercury as astrologist know, causing poor communication and confusion when retrograde. 

Yours while Mercury is retrograde, And when it's no longer in retrograde, will you be Ttheirs?   All will be back to normal...  well almost all.
