Thayer's Notes:

a Gen. Starbird's birthplace is from his obituary in The New York Times.

[decorative delimiter]

b Gen. Starbird died after the publication of Vol. IX (1950), the most recent volume of the Supplements to Cullum's Register available to me, which may also be the most recent volume in the public domain. The date and place of his death are from the WPAOG memorial article. His obituary in The New York Times is also online.
