More work needed[edit]

I'm writing here in part because my cyberbullies have escalated, messing with my Microsoft account as well as signing me out of wikipedia, then calling me using an unidentified web dialer when I logged in and of course not identifying themselves. What I wanted to write about was possibly too close to original research concerning this man, and so more appropriate for this page. Yesterday, I was surprised that a man who served in both houses of Virginia's General Assembly was not mentioned in the Southern genealogy I cited, despite many entries for both earlier and later cousins. I suspected the problem might involve manumissions, so I phoned Fairfax Historical Records and sure enough, he did manumit slaves, at least in his will, though apparently it also provided that the manumissions wouldn't happen until 1850 (20 years after he died). Today I also managed to find the correct photo names on wikipedia commons, and will add it shortly, as well as a book ref concerning his will, which is better than the obituary photo on his wife's findagrave entry, but also doesn't mention the manumissions.Jweaver28 (talk) 20:49, 19 August 2021 (UTC) Working on other matters, though still can't find mention of education.Jweaver28 (talk) 20:28, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect Image[edit]

I believe the locket pictured in this article is William Fitzhugh of Chatham, not his son William Henry Fitzhugh (of Ravensworth) who is the subject of this article. The father is readily identifiable as he lost an eye in childhood. The Arlington House webpage of the National Park Service to which this image is cited also confuses the father and son. R. J.
