An anomaly has cropped up. The Senate records show that both Keyes and FJ Porter were formally nominated by the President to be brigadier-generals in the volunteer force on 6th January 1862. However, they are included as such in General Orders dated 20th August 1861.
I can find no evidence that Lincoln made appointments of them as BG(V) before nomination. Indeed, Keyes and FJ Porter are definitely still just regular colonels at the end of July '61.
Have I missed something?
