Gravestone image-DOB

[edit]

I have today on the internet come across an apparent image of Tucker’s gravestone at the Univ. of Virginia cemetery, provided by “Find-a-grave.” Though I understand this does not constitute a reliable source, in the image Tucker’s date of birth on the stone is August 1, 1775, rather than the 20th, as stated in the article. I have therefore reviewed the sources for the DOB in the article. This includes McLean’s biography, which further cites Thomas Emmet, An Account of the Tucker Family (1898) for the 20th as the DOB. Also referenced in the article is Tucker’s 1858 Autobiography, wherein Tucker uses the 20th as his DOB. Hoppyh (talk) 16:11, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have added a footnote including the info above. Hoppyh (talk) 19:58, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Hildeoc: If you can show me how to fix, I’d be glad to. @TFA coordinators I found the fix. Removing tag and proceeding with corrections. All done. Hoppyh (talk) 17:50, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
