Colonial Pennsylvania" and categories for other colonies in British America. My thought is this seeks excessive for a person born in 1771. Although there are some issues. I do not think we can make a hard and fast rule. If someone was born in 1771, but did something that made them well known in 1775. Thry would clearly fit. If someone was born in 1701, but only came to public attention by writing a pamphlet that got published in 1785, I still think they go in the People from colonial X category. I think a reasonable rule is anyone we know lived in X polity up until age, I am not sure what age though, Elsewhere I went with 21, but I am not sure I would impose that high an age in removing categories. I would also make exceptions for people we know were publicly active at a younger age. One does not have to be notable to fit, but it is excessive to categorize infants in most cases. The other issue is do we consider Colonial Oennsylvania to end in 1776, 1783, or do we punt and go for fuzzy lines. I would say clearly anyone born after 1776 does not go in such categories, unleas we can clearly show a good reason to place them. They wpuld only be 7 when the British fully recognize independence. However enen if we are going with 1783, I think a bitvearlier date is needed. If these were Writers, Artists, lawyers, musicians from Colonial Pennsylvania I would push for an older age and evidence of having been a writer, lawyer, musician etc while axsubject of the colony, but the People from Colonial Pennsylvania category would seem to have an easier cutoff. Mere birth in a place is not defining, so someone birn in December 1782 let alone in the part of 1783 before the treaty was signed clearly would not belong. I am thinking we need to condider each case. I guess a key question is what is the function of these caregories. Is it to rag every article we have on a person who lived in say Colonisl Pennsylvania, or is it to aid peiple trying to learn about colonial Pennsylvania? If it is the later we probably should go for an earlier last birth year than if the goal is the former.

Massachusetts Bay Colony. SCientiests from Colonial Pennsylvania, etc. I have doubts we have enough articles to populate such categories. We have some "Colonial American" categories which at times have said thry should include people from anywhere in the US during Colonial times regardless of if they were under Swedish, British, Dutch, Russian Empire, Spanish, French or other control. This might make sense if there was an American nation invaded by European colonizers. However there was not a nation that got broken up. In fact for Calufornia, New Mexico and Texas there is a 25 plus year gap from the end of Colonial rule until they become part of the United States of America. For Utah, Arizona and Nevada there is in almost all their area never Colonial rule at all. I think a better approach is to look at the historical reality. We have an article on

Quebec would not go with the other colonies is not pre-determined. Florida is British from 1763 until 1783, but not in the 13 colonies, but someone who moves from Charleston, South Carolina to St. Augustine in 1772 no more sees themselves as going somewhere new than if thry moved to New York City or Boston or Richmond. Leaving a Colony means more than leaving a modern US state. Still we have Artists from ancient Greece, musicians from ancient Greece etc and those are categories grouping people from a set of oolities that had no political unity at all. I think People from British America and its subcats work in dome cases. However I think we could maybe do by Colony categories for politicians, lawyers and maybe some other categories. Does anyone else have thoughts?
