Thayer's Notes:

a1 a2 The Register records the year of his birth — in the Supplement, Vols. VI and VII — as 1831, making him 89 when he died; the reliable secondary source linked in the next note gives it as 1833, which if true would have made him 15 on entering the Academy — it wouldn't be the first time a young man misstated his age to get into the Army — and 19 at graduation.

b As with other Confederate officers, Cullum's Register omits his war record. The deficiency is made good in the Handbook of Texas.
