Comment: Thank you, Curbon7, you are correct. I would say the key issue is the references do not demonstrate notability with "significant coverage." —Caorongjin 💬 09:18, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

William Green Millsaps (April 2, 1831 - February 25, 1887) was a preacher who served in the Mississippi legislature.[1][2]
He was born April 2, 1831 around the area of Pleasant Valley, Copiah County, Mississippi to devout Methodist Episcopal Church members.[3] Reuben Webster Millsaps, founder of Millsaps College, was his brother.[2]
He went to school in Copiah County before going to Hanover College in Indiana to study[3] and then on to Indiana Asbury University (forerunner to DePauw University) graduating in 1853.[4] Although graduating at the top of the class he did not obtain a first class honors as he had only attended the college for a single year.[3] Two years after graduating he was admitted to the Mississippi Conference and given his first church position in Washington where he served for two years.[3] It was during this time that he met and married Fannie Mayberry August 14, 1857.[3]
He and his wife sold an acre of land for use by the Mt. Mariah Baptist Church, a "Colored" church in Jefferson County, August 19, 1875.[5] (apparently east of Union Church, Mississippi on 550).
The Millsaps-Wilson Library at the Millsaps College in Jackson, Mississippi contains his full library that was donated by his granddaughter Miss Butterfield.[6]
