I made a couple of changes to this article today, and don't know when I can bring it up to even minimal wikipedia standards, since although findagrave (not reliable) is listed as a ref, the findagrave page said he was born in Winchester not Cumberland County (other end of Wilderness Road in Virginia) and died in Nelson County rather than Farmville. Today I couldn't find on ancestry.com his personal nor slave census results for 1840, 1850 and 1860, although I found him on another type of property listing in Lynchburg in 1860. I think I noticed the problem years ago, and tried to download the other ref cite, to Men of Mark via archive.org, but had some sort of download problem, so I'm trying again. However, what's really needed is a non-Covid-closed library with a good Virginia history section. I also managed to find a law volume with his notorious anti-emancipation opinion while unsuccessfully trying to download updates to a balky laptop, but the volume was 3-in-1 so the Virginia Reports page number may be OK per a discussion with a reference librarian, or incorrect. I'm just hoping this edit doesn't produce a nonreturnable web robocall supposedly from South Dakota touting a Covid benefit, as had my morning edit on a Virginia article.Jweaver28 (talk) 22:58, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
