Women's Rights Special History Study

1. John E. Becker, "Some Waterloo Citizens of Yesterday," unpublished typescript owned by the Waterloo Historical Society (Waterloo, 1950), entry under "Richard P. Hunt." There is some disagreement on the date of the meeting at the Hunt House. Although Stanton says the first notice of the Convention appeared on July 14, a check of the Seneca County Courier by Judy Wellman revealed that the first notice appeared on Tuesday, July 11. Wellman concluded that the organizational meeting likely took place on July 9. (See Judy Wellman, "Women's Rights, Free Soil and Quakerism: The Seneca Falls Women's Rights Convention," p. 11.)
