Choctaw heritage

The Songwriters Hall of Fame, The Broadway League's Internet Broadway Database, and the African American Registry, among other sources, gies different birth years for Clarence Williams: 1893 and 1898. Differing birth dates are not uncommon for musicians and actors of the 19th and early 20th centuries, when record-keeping was spottier than now. Short of a birth certificate, we have equally reliable sources saying two different things. It also happens with newer artists: See Lil' Kim or Mick Mars. Choosing one over the other would be POV. --Tenebrae (talk) 21:47, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
