* "Liborius Kauphusman" is the correct spelling of this German immigrant's name; draft lists are replete with misspelled names, especially those of immigrants whose names were unfamiliar to those compiling draft lists. The compilers were largely third and fourth generation Americans who traced their ancestry back to the English-speaking British Isles, and had difficulty with the pronunciation and spelling of names of immigrants from Scandinavia, Germany, and Eastern Europe.

* Both J.A. Stout and Morris M. Small were serving in the Army at the time of this draft and were not deserters. Draft lists were often incorrect, listing men who did not report for the draft as deserters when, in fact, the men did not report because they were already serving in the Army. Great caution should be taken in using these Civil War draft lists as the only source for an individual's lack of service in the military.

This erroneous listing of Paul Knauf as a deserter illustrates the caution that must be used with official draft records, and the need to try to corroborate through other records any lists showing a man as a "deserter."
