Talk:William H. Cabell

Middle name
LOC suggests William H(enry) Cabell—William H(enry) Cabell, head-and-shoulders portrait, left profile; as well as NGA. The fact is that William Cabell added middle "H." in April 1795 after marrying Col. William Cabell, Sr., daughter to distinguish himself from two other men named William Cabell in the same extended family. See Brown, A. The Cabells and their kin: a memorial volume of history, biography, and genealogy. Richmond, Va.: Garrett and Massie, 1939, p. 251. And thanks to 73.237.56.20 for pointing out that. --Taterian (talk) 02:55, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
