a1 a2 a3 As with other Confederate officers, Cullum's Register omits his war record: according to the Southern Historical Society Papers he commanded the 1st North Carolina Junior Reserves, with the rank of Colonel.
For the following information I am indebted to Steven Maes: According to Confederate Colonels: A Biographical Register, which is also the source for the birth data I give above, his first name is properly spelled Franck (his maternal grandmother's maiden name); and he was not killed in the war, but died at Louisville, KY on April 18, 1889.
Lt. Armistead was the son of Gen. Walker Armistead.
