[edit] Inconsistencies

It is noted that the Brigadier led the charge at Gettysburg on foot (despite popular paintings depicting him on horseback). However, when it becomes time for him to die he falls off his horse. Perhaps an incomplete correction? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.216.146.131 (talk) 22:42, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Unrelated Barksdales?

Note: The Barksdale Family History and Genealogy, compiled by Captain John A. Barksdale, published in 1940, clearly documents the Barksdale family in the United States of America at that time, were all the direct decendents of William Barksdale, born Circa: 1629 at Worcester, England; died 1694 Virginia. This extensive work done on the Barksdale family documents the family history. I assure you that if Jim Barksdale, did not change his name to Barksdale, he was related to General William Barksdale. Eugene Hoy Barksdale, unless he had changed his name was related to General William Barksdale as well.

The preceding conversational note was moved from the article to this talk page. If you have some specific citations that show the relationships, we will simply remove the section about unrelated people, but this is not the way to update the article. Hal Jespersen 16:49, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
