Wrong image

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]

You are right, I just found that out...[1] Jjmillerhistorian 10:34, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I just replaced it with the correct image. Jjmillerhistorian 11:09, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Birthplace

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

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.

Category:American slave owners

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]
