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. There were at least two Confederate Lieutenant Wilsons who died of wounds at Sharpsburg: one, Colden Wilson of the 16th Mississippi, seems the most likely match here. The second was James W Wilson, 9th Alabama. Or it could be another Lieutenant in the 18th Mississippi, William Ellison of Company F, whose last name sounds something like Wilson.
"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 is no Thompson or similar name among the South Carolinians known to have died at Sharpsburg. There were 5 Thompsons from other states killed or mortally wounded at Sharpsburg who may have been buried on this part of the field (none of them 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.
