Death

Doesn't say when he died, although explicit on birth

With a French and English ancestry, Henry T. Oxnard was born in its June 23, 1861 during the residence of his parents abroad at Marseilles, France. Henry T. Oxnard's ancestor came to America in 1740 and settled in Boston, having been sent by Lord Montague, the father of Freemasonry in the New World, to further the establishment of that order in its new home as the provincial master of all America. Since then the Oxnard family has been prominent in New England Americans of the most progressive type.

Which leads me, although intrigued by his ancestor's being sent to be the provincial master of all America, to why I looked him up from the city Oxnard: where does it come from ? Being English, I can say I would not be astonished to meet it as an English surname, yet I would do a double-take. Seems contrived. I assume it's French, although that paragraph definitely says his parents were aliens staying at Marseilles when he was born.

Although no doubt true, the whole article reads like an exemplary biography. Claverhouse (talk) 14:33, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
