a Maj. Henry's birthdate is from his tombstone, q.v. His first name is variously given as Mathias, as here, or Mathis, as in Heitman's Historical Register and Dictionary of the United States Army.
b As with other Confederate officers, Cullum's Register omits his war record: the Southern Historical Society Papers list him among those who took up Confederate service, but offers no further details. If you have good information, I'll be happy to hear from you, of course.
Images with borders lead to more information.
The thicker the border, the more information. (Details here.) |
