William Connery was born in Baltimore, MD on January 19, 1949. He shares a birthday with Edgar Allan Poe (1809), Robert E. Lee (1807), and Dolly Parton (1946). He was born exactly the same day as the iconic British 80s singer, Robert Palmer. In the 1970s, he lived for three years in Kampala, Uganda. He is currently assistant to the Chairman of The Washington Times. He also writes and speaks on Civil War and historical topics. He is younger and believes he is better looking than that other Connery, Sir Sean.
