[edit] Date of Death

The year is certain, but several local and family records record the date as June 28, not May 17. I've chosen to go with the May date even though I serviously suspect it is wrong. But at least we match with the Congressional bio-guide and the "Dictionary of Virginia Biography". Lou I

yep, I have the June one too. plange 22:33, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Geography

The problem with place names is the choice of using the name from the time of an event or the current name. New London is now a suburb or neighborhood in the independent city of Lynchburg, Virginia. The family farm of his birth was located in what is now Campbell County, Virginia.

The Congress bioguide lists Old Linerty. There never was such a place. The town of Liberty was founded in 1782, and was called than until it was renamed Bedford in 1890, its now the city of Bedford, Virginia. I chose to use contemporary names in the article with only a few refernces to the modern name. Lou I 21:12, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

Wanted to request it be moved back to the original page name John Johns Trigg, as that was how he was known historically. --plange 01:45, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

This article has been renamed from John J. Trigg to John Johns Trigg as the result of a move request. --Stemonitis 16:24, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
