The Texas State Historical Association (a reliable source that is among the sources cited in this article) asserts that Thomas Peck Ochiltree was born in Livingston, Alabama on October 26, 1839 ([1]) and that his father, William Beck Ochiltree, moved from Alabama to Nacogdoches, Texas in 1839 ([2]). This directly contradicts the claim in the Biographical Directory of the United States Congress that Thomas Peck Ochiltree was born in Nacogdoches on October 26, 1837 (exactly two years earlier than the Texas State Historical Association says that he was born in Alabama): [3]. It seems to me that the TSHA is a better source with respect to this particular subject. Do any editors have an opinion on whether Thomas Peck Ochiltree's birth data should be changed to match those reported by the TSHA? AuH2ORepublican (talk) 00:53, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
