Merge?

Support. Self-explanatory. We only need one page. Эйрон Кинни (t) 03:40, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support. However, I think that the years should be removed from the page title as well. Dr. Sunglasses 04:11, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Definite support I created the second page by an accident because the link on the List of Governors of New Jersey pointed to the second article. However, my suggested merge is to William Burnet (administrator), because there are many contradictory reports of his birth and death dates. (William Burnet (administrator) says that he died in 1729, NJ state library] states 1687-1729, etc.) AndyZ _t 01:26, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Moved

As per MA State Library and MA Government, though some sources do list 1728.

Merged

I've merged the two articles and done some editing to blend them together, though some editing remains. I've also added an image which appears to be public domain. SilkTork 11:50, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
