Moved till sourced

I agree why don't we move facts here until they have a standard citation template for the facts. We can move back the information as it becomes sourced. I started by adding a source for what you removed. I will strikeout the facts that I move back, and you can do the same as each is sourced.

~~He was born on January 16, 1818~~ in Canaan, Columbia County, New York to George Bristol and Sally (Hutchinson) Bristol.

He worked for the New York and Erie Railroad, and was Superintending Engineer under Engineer-in-Chief William J. McAlpine.

~~He married Mary Ann Worthington on October 5, 1848.~~

In November 1851, McAlpine was elected New York State Engineer and Surveyor, and took office on January 1, 1852. In September 1852, Bristol was as a Hunker Chairman of the Democratic State Convention at Syracuse, New York which nominated Horatio Seymour to run for Gorvernor. On August 1, 1853, McAlpine resigned his state office. On September 14, the Democratic State Convention at Syracuse, N.Y., nominated Bristol to run for State Engineer and Surveyor at the November election. On September 21, Bristol was appointed by Governor Horatio Seymour to fill McAlpines unexpired term until the end of the year. On November 8, Bristol was defeated by the Whig candidate John T. Clark, and declined to take office, whereupon Henry Ramsay was appointed on December 10 for the remaining three weeks of McAlpines unexpired term.

He was New York State Treasurer from 1868 to 1871, elected in 1867 and 1869, but defeated in 1871 when running for re-election.

In 1886, his residence on the "Glenmary" estate (which he had bought from Nathaniel Parker Willis who had lived from 1837 to 1842 in another house nearby) at Owego was burgled after he had removed to Florida.

He was a member of the Florida State Senate.

Duplicated references

I have restored the deletion of the duplicate reference, there is no need to have it listed twice, once in the external links and once using the formatted citations. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 15:48, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
