Hi Leo! Just a couple things:
<>
Oh, *the* Oliver Wolcott, silly me... could you rephrase this in less definite terms (something like "Oliver Wolcott, a delegate to the Continental Congress who signed the Declaration of Independence")?
Do we know why he was expelled? I love scandal.
It's customary for four-letter words not allowed by the profanity filter to use the first letter followed by an m-dash, like "F—".
Other than that, looks great! I'm looking forward to editing the project!

The only person who intimated why he might have been expelled was a Brendan Gill, whose facts are not usually in order, but he said it had something to do with stealing a wreath out of a cemetary. 
Another source hinted that he was kicked out of several schools, but failed to explain why. If I ever do a Ph.d, maybe I'll tackle Gibbs. But until then, his life is shrowded in mystery.
