Wrong image

edit

The image which accompanies this page is actually of Thomas Bibb, William Wyatt Bibb's younger brother. The brothers don't look anything alike.64.240.208.169 18:38, 15 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Birthplace

edit

Congress Bioguide shows William Bibb was born in Amelia County, Virginia [2]. Political Graveyard shows Prince Edward County, Virginia [3]. Alabama Department of Archives and History shows Amelia City, Virginia which appears not to exist [4]. I realise a part of Amelia County became Prince Edward County, but that was in 1754 well before Bibb was born. I just looked up in Find a Grave and it shows he was born in Prince George County, Virginia [5]. Where was he born? Jjmillerhistorian 11:59, 1 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

People from Birmingham

edit

How is Mr. Bibb listed under the category "People from Birmingham, Alabama" if Birmingham didn't exist until fifty years after his death?

Hello, there is an article here, http://www.encyclopediaofalabama.org/face/Article.jsp?id=h-1416, that might be useful.

Thanks,

No mention of slave-owning. I feel that this category should be restricted to people whose slave-owning history was notable in itself. Valetude (talk) 04:57, 22 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
