The year is certain, but several local and family records record the date as June 28, not May 17. I've chosen to go with the May date even though I serviously suspect it is wrong. But at least we match with the Congressional bio-guide and the "Dictionary of Virginia Biography". Lou I
The problem with place names is the choice of using the name from the time of an event or the current name. New London is now a suburb or neighborhood in the independent city of Lynchburg, Virginia. The family farm of his birth was located in what is now Campbell County, Virginia.
The Congress bioguide lists Old Linerty. There never was such a place. The town of Liberty was founded in 1782, and was called than until it was renamed Bedford in 1890, its now the city of Bedford, Virginia. I chose to use contemporary names in the article with only a few refernces to the modern name. Lou I 21:12, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
