Thayer's Notes:

a As with other Confederate officers, Cullum's Register omits his war record; the Find-a‑Grave page linked to above gives a brief summary of his later military career.

b1 b2 In the Supplement (and in the AOG obituary), Vol. V, Breant is a typo in the printed edition; in Vol. IV on the other hand, Breaut is an acceptable spelling. The place, as the name is spelled today, is Breaux Bridge.

The thicker the border, the more information. (Details here.)
