Talk:Will Dockery

Untitled
Can someone explain how someone can be born in 1865 and be the son of someone who died, at the latest, in 1862? Matthearn (talk) 13:19, 20 August 2008 (UTC)


 * If you are talking about Will Dockery, he died in 1936. Did I make a mistake somewhere in the article? &mdash; Mattisse  (Talk) 13:33, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Umm. I see what you mean. I was going by the sources but I will check them again. &mdash; Mattisse  (Talk) 13:37, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * You are quite right. My source does not give a birth date. So I removed it. Thanks for pointing that out. &mdash; Mattisse (Talk) 13:48, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

you have to make a comment on the picture, that the date is errouneous. Plehn (talk) 16:24, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

The phrase '...and he was willing to pay for it...', seems awkward and unnecessary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.165.172.4 (talk) 14:33, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Birth date
The picture is of a structure on the Dockery Plantation, which the family still owns. Therefore, it is difficult to say the family is wrong. The source for his father dying in the Battle of Bull Run is also a good one. However, it is obvious there is a discrepancy, whether some of the history is lore despite being well referenced. According to another source Will Dockery's father and mother were left almost destitute by the Civil War and had a hard time paying for his education at Ole Miss. Therefore, I conclude his father did not die at Bull Run. &mdash; Mattisse (Talk) 17:10, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
