Thayer's Notes:

a1 a2 The Register records the year of his birth — in the Supplement, Vols. VI and VII — as 1831, making him 89 when he died; the very brief obituary in the Association of Graduates Report for 1924 follows suit with the exact date given above.

The Handbook of Texas, however, a reliable secondary source, gives it as 1833, which if true would have made him 15 on entering the Academy — it wouldn't be the first time a young man misstated his age to get into the Army — and 19 at graduation. His tombstone (q.v.) supports the year, giving the exact date as May 15, 1833.

b As with other Confederate officers, Cullum's Register omits his war record. The deficiency is made good in the Handbook of Texas, which also provides details of his life in retirement.
