Samuel C. Reid (USN), Hero of Fayal

Samuel Chester Reid was an officer in the United States Navy who commanded a privateer during the War of 1812. He is also noted for having helped design the 1818 version of the flag of the United States, which first established the rule of keeping thirteen stripes and adding one star for each U.S. state

Baruch Spinoza, I've never seen it written "Espinoza". On Oct 4, 2022 at 8:33 PM someone changed the spelling of his surname and also his death location, both of which are well documented as they had been presented here originally.

Commonly known as Spinoza, the name used on all of his published works. Even the source given by Wikipedia for his alleged birth name is a 2016 biography authored by Steven M. Nadler, titled, "Spinoza".

The source does claim that he was called "Baruch de Espinoza" within the translation of the text of the Hebrew language document, i.e. "curse and damn Baruch de Espinoza" that served his excommunication from his former synagogue.

But the same translation also begins the document by calling him "Baruch de SPINOZA".

Spinoza signed his own name either "B. de Spinoza" or "B. despinoza", the latter rather lazily linking the de with Spinoza without any capitalization.

Search that autobiography for Espinoza and you only get 5 (five) results. Whereas Spinoza gets 921.

I don't have a problem with the death location (the Hague).

Here I did a quick search. Did a quick Bing search and they provided me this answer: Baruch De Espinoza, also known as Benedictus de Spinoza or Bento de Spinosa, was a philosopher of Portuguese-Jewish origin who lived in the Dutch Republic in the 17th century. He wrote his name in different ways, depending on the language and context. Here are some examples:

In his Latin works, he used the name Benedictus de Spinoza1.
In his Hebrew works, he used the name Baruch Spinoza or Baruch d’Espinosa1.
In his correspondence with Leibniz, he signed his name as B.d.S.2.
In a 1671 letter to Leibniz, he wrote his name as Benedictus de Spinosa2.
In his Dutch works, he used the name Bento de Spinosa1.
You can see an image of his signature from the 1671 letter to Leibniz here: File:Spinoza’s signature (1671).svg - Wikimedia Commons2. I hope this answers your question.

Wikipedia says ..."A 2008 French study found evidence to suggest that superfetation is a reality for humans, but that it is so rare that there have been fewer than 10 recorded cases in the world."

Do I see a project coming? Maybe we can find more than 10 cases. ;-)

Will you start the project Erica?
