Description of grave robbing

On 8 April 2009, an anonymous user added a large chunk of text that provided a lot of detail about the robbing of Harrison's grave and subsequent events. I removed that text today for two reasons: (1) The material is completely unsourced. I searched for some phrases on Google and Google Books to see if it was copied-and-pasted from somewhere else (possibly a public-domain source), but couldn't find any hits. (2) If we kept this text, the article would put a disproportionate emphasis on Harrison's death, since the rest of the article is fairly short. That could be overcome with some editing, but it seemed weird as it was. Dreamyshade (talk) 03:04, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lucretia Knapp Johnson

Do you think he was really 12 years old when John Scott Harrison married Lucretia Knapp Johnson in 1816?
