Thayer's Notes:

a Capt. Evans' birth data are from his AOG obituary.

b The Register has "Fort Bedford, N. D." There was no fort by that name in North Dakota; an error for Fort Buford. I am indebted to John Stanton of FortWiki for the correction: he checked the post returns.

Images with borders lead to more information.
The thicker the border, the more information. (Details here.)
