Genealogy[edit]

I just removed the link to his daughter, Sophonisba Preston Breckinridge (b. 22 Aug 1839). This daughter married Theophilus Steele, and was not particularly noteworthy. The famous Sophonisba Breckinridge was the daughter of William Campbell Preston Breckinridge, R.J. Breckinridge's son. I'll put in a note of her as R.J.'s granddaughter.

Photos[edit]

I have uploaded more photos to commons" commons:Category:Robert Jefferson Breckinridge. If someone wants to add them to the article, go for it. I am not a big fan of the photo in the infobox, since isn't a great scan. I prefer commons:File:Robert Jefferson Breckinridge.jpg or commons:File:Robert J. Breckinridge 1800.jpg, but I will leave that decision to someone else.--Jwilkinsen (talk) 02:45, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
