Notability

[edit]

In 1860, he owned 14 slaves in Richmond County, Georgia. They lived in 5 slave houses. His mother Mary Creswell Walker at the time of that census owned 26 slaves in 9 slave houses.

I can’t see any notability in this statement. These tallies are being increasingly featured in wiki pages. I feel that the category ‘American slave owner’ should be restricted to people whose slave-owning history was notable in itself. Valetude (talk) 04:28, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
