Theodore Washington Brevard Jr. (August 26, 1835 – June 20, 1882)[1][2] was best known for having served as a military officer in the Confederate States Army.

Theodore Washington Brevard Jr. was born in Tuskegee, Alabama, on August 26, 1835, and studied law at the University of Virginia.

[4] At the beginning of the Civil War in 1861, he resigned from this post to enter active service, feeling that "he was too young a man to hold a safe and easy position whiles others were in peril".

The company of three officers and 76 soldiers mustered into service at Tallahassee in July 1857 and promptly moved to Fort Myers where they searched for Seminoles hiding in the Everglades.

On November 26 Captain Parkhill led a force to burn Seminole crops near Royal Palm Hammock.

The company mustered out of service in Tallahassee on January 28, 1858, and Brevard was promoted to Major and served as the Adjutant General of Florida's militia.

They were mustered into Confederate service on July 13, 1861, and organized by the election of their commander, Colonel George Taliaferro Ward of Leon County.

On February 20, 1864, the battalion fought with Finegan's Brigade at the Battle of Olustee where they repulsed the Union advance from Jacksonville on Tallahassee.

Finegan's troops and Perry's Florida Brigade consolidated and fought in the Battle of Cold Harbor on May 28.

[10] Despite Custer's habit of enumerating all of his battlefield prizes, no federal provost marshal had counted Brevard as a General.
