I fixed the subject for you. One of the reasons I wanted to switch software was to make these kind of errors easily fixable. Took me all of five seconds.

I wonder how big that 1791 quake was. Sounds like it was in the 5's. And if there was surface rupture, shallow. USGS has it listed as intensity VII.

The wikipedia entry also mentions an intensity VI quake in 1568.
