Thayer's Note:

a Cullum doesn't note it, but Richard de Treville was among the signers of South Carolina's Ordnance of Secession, December 20, 1860 (see for example this page at "Online Library of Liberty"), and was an officer of the convention that drew it up.

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