Talk:William Grayson

message: I don't know when or if I'll be able to travel to the Prince William County Virginia room at the main library building in Manassas to clean up this article. I believe Grayson freed his slaves, and also held several offices in Prince William county not yet mentioned. In fact, Grayson may be the reason why the Prince William country register of wills for the period lists a number of manumissions, unlike those for Fairfax County of the same period, if I remember correctly.Jweaver28 (talk) 13:31, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

message: Just leaving a note here as it seems to have caused some confusion: I find no evidence that the Grayson family's "Belle Aire" is the selfsame "Bel Air" which is on the National Register of Historic Places. Frankly, I can't find any information about Belle Aire, and it looks like the house is no longer standing. Furthermore, the burial vault in which Grayson is interred (according to Google Maps via Findagrave) is nowhere near Bel Air, which at cursory glance appears to be at least a couple of miles away. So I suspect the two properties were different. Further investigation is warranted, certainly. Two things I can say: Grayson was not a prince, and he appears to have been no fresher than other senators. Take that for what you will. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 19:56, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I actually managed to read the 1976 register listing for the correct Bel Air, after confirming the correct address (and viewing the tomb) last week. I included both refs.Jweaver28 (talk) 23:19, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

message: With sincere apologies if I have overstepped, I have raised the classification of the article to "B", and given all categories a "mid" importance. I have taken the liberty as it is my experience that governance of categories is infrequent or non-existent. Should I be mistaken , let me know via my talk page, and please peer review the article. Much of my re-assessment is in the wake of my own clean-up, and addition to the military section (with citations).  Kindly, Bill McKenna (talk) 15:33, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
