NOTES: Family records listed him as John Lloyd Vivian, no evidence for that name. Died of pneumonia in the Civil War according to family.
NAME: Sometimes this is listed as Lloyd W Vivian Jr, or Lloyd W (John) Vivian, Jr. I doubt that this was both John Thomas Vivian, and Lloyd W Vivian. I have yet to determine if there were two individuals, or if someone simply inferred that there was another son names Lloyd W Vivian, and assigned it to this person. Further research is necessary.
NOTES: Served in Confederate Army. D 25th Regt. Texas Cavalry.
