Concernant sa date de naissance précise, les registres d'état civils ne semblaient vraiment pas une préoccupation pour enfants nés dans les plantations du delta.
Muddy Waters par exemple ne semblait sincèrement pas vraiment savoir sa date de naissance précise.Although in his later years Muddy usually said that he was born in Rolling Fork, Mississippi in 1915, he was most likely born at Jug's Corner in neighboring Issaquena County in 1913.[5] Recent research has uncovered documentation showing that in the 1930s and 1940s he reported his birth year as 1913 on both his marriage license and musicians' union card. A 1955 interview in the Chicago Defender is the earliest claim of 1915 as his year of birth, which he continued to use in interviews from that point onward. The 1920 census lists him as five years old as of March 6, 1920, suggesting that his birth year may have been 1914. The Social Security Death Index, relying on the Social Security card application submitted after his move to Chicago in the mid-1940s, lists him as being born April 4, 1913. Muddy's gravestone gives his birth year as 1915.
