The Author's Note:

1 Son of Captain Indicates a West Point graduate and gives his Class. Henry P. Perrine, Class of 1869.

Thayer's Notes:

a Gen. Perrine's birthplace is from the memorial article and biographical sketch at West Point Association of Graduates.

b Gen. Perrine died after the publication of Vol. IX (1950), the most recent volume of the Supplements to Cullum's Register available to me, which may also be the most recent volume in the public domain. The date and place of his death, as well as his burial place, are from the memorial article and biographical sketch at West Point Association of Graduates, which also give details of his Army career and his life after 1950.
