Removing content from Overview section

I am removing the following paragraph from the Overview section:

The museum's founding benefactors, the Putnam sisters, were related to two Revolutionary War generals, Israel Putnam and Rufus Putnam. Coincidentally, one of the museum's most important acquisitions in recent decades is the John Singleton Copley painting of the woman who may well have triggered the Revolutionary War, Margaret Kemble Gage.

I'm removing this content for the following reasons: The paragraph entirely lacks citations of sources. The genealogical information is only tangentially relevant to the article and (if verifiable) would be better placed in the articles Israel Putnam and/or Rufus Putnam, or in article(s) on the Putnam sisters themselves, so far not created. The assessment of the acquisition's importance is unattributed, and possibly the editor's own opinion. Gage's connection to the Revolution is covered, and better explained and supported, in the article Margaret Kemble Gage. Information on the portrait itself is present elsewhere in this article, in an illustration. Monkeysoap (talk) 17:56, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
