Came across an article on Wikipedia about [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannah_Snell Hannah Snell]. Not all her life story matches up to Jackrum's but there is the aspect of the wife continuing a military career in an effective disguise after her husbands death, surviving and retiring and the image could be thought similar to Jackrum's description. There's also mention of a pub - though I know that's more to do with Polly Perks. --[[User:GallifreyanWitch|Verity]] ([[User talk:GallifreyanWitch|talk]]) 17:37, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

The wiki entry is rather uncommonly erroneous, there is a deal of speculation over the sex of Jackrum who could either be male or, as is suggested at the end of Monstorous Regiment, female.

Yes, I thought the "he" was misleading. Perhaps the idea is to avoid spoilage, but I'd rather see it re-done on a spoiler template. ...--Old Dickens 16:09, 4 December 2006 (CET)
