Thayer's Note:

a As with other Confederate officers, Cullum's Register omits his war record, which included spirited service in the artillery at the bombardment of Fort Sumter and fighting at Shiloh as Chief of Artillery for Gen. Ruggles' division. A good page at TXGenWeb covers his war record and some of his personal life as well.
