Thayer's Notes:

a John Matheson 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. I have no information as to his subsequent career: if you can fill in the gap, please drop me a line, of course.
