Thayer's Notes:

a Capt. McGregor's birth data are from his AOG obituary.

b Capt. McGregor's page at the Arlington National Cemetery site, although it does not include a photograph of his grave, is of unusual interest since it documents seven generations of West Pointers, in which he was the third, having married the daughter of Indicates a West Point graduate and gives his Class. William Rice King; the page includes an anecdote about his own marriage.

Images with borders lead to more information.
The thicker the border, the more information. (Details here.)
