Vignette image is a chest up view in left profile of Theodore F. Sevier sporting a long, dark, beard and wearing a dark civilian suit.

Contrast and clarity are very good. Mount and paper have light scattered surface dirt from age and storage.

Reverse is blank but does have a period pencil ID that reads “COL FRANK SEVIER.”

Image is from a Tennessee album.

Theodore Francis Sevier was born in Russellville, Kentucky on February 22, 1832. He later moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee where he married in 1859.

With the outbreak of the Civil War, he was commissioned captain of Company A, 1^st Tennessee Infantry. In December of 1862 he was appointed lieutenant colonel and assistant adjutant general on the staff of General Leonidas Polk in the Army of Tennessee and later under General A. P. Stuart. He served in that capacity until the end of the war.

Sometime after the war he relocated to Uvalde County, Texas where he died on January 19, 1915 and is buried there in Sabinal Cemetery.

Research shows that Sevier is mentioned several times in the Official Records and further searching there may reveal some new insights into Sevier’s service.      [ad][ph:L]
