Notes for this map segment:

"Lt. Robison 9 La." - this is Lieutenant Samuel T. Robinson, Company C.

"Lt. Wilson 18 Miss." - There is no Wilson among the known dead of the 18th Mississippi Infantry. The most likely match here is 2nd Lt. William Ellison of Company F, who died of wounds near this spot. Alternately, there were at least two Confederate Lieutenant Wilsons who died of wounds at Sharpsburg: Colden Wilson of the 16th Mississippi and James W Wilson, 9th Alabama.

"W. Berry" - There is no W. Berry among the Confederates known to have died at Sharpsburg. Possible matches for men with similar names who could have been buried on this part of the battlefield include: James J.D. Berry, 6th Georgia and Robert L. Berry, 7th South Carolina.

"D.A. King 4 Ala." - this is Lieutenant David B. King, Company F.

"Capt. Thompson SC" - There are no Thompsons among the South Carolinians known to have died at Sharpsburg. He may be Capt. Robert W.P. Tompkins of the Hampton Legion, who was buried in "Miller's Woods" by his men on 17 September (thanks to James Hull for the pointer to Tompkins). There were 5 Thompsons from other states killed or mortally wounded at Sharpsburg who may have been buried on this part of the field, but none of them were Captains: Lieutenant James C.S. Thompson, First Texas; Private Caswell C. Thompson, 60th Georgia; Private James Thompson, 28th Georgia; Sergeant John Thompson, 10th Louisiana; and Private Thomas G. N. Thompson, 2nd Mississippi.
