A source from the 19th century repeating family myths is inherently unreliable about events from 800 years before. This claim simply has no basis in reality, and even were it true would be entirely un-noteworthy, giving undue weight that in no way helps to understand the subject. Does it provide any insight whatsoever into the life of this 19th century American to be told that (so the family claimed) the surname once was le Bon, or that (and this is laughable) they claimed trace from a companion of William the Conqueror when no such companion can be shown to even have existed. It is all nonsense, typical of uncritical 19th century works, but either rejected =out of hand or dismissed as unimportant by modern biographers. Agricolae (talk) 22:04, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
