  Military Service	This man is one of the more fascinating in the family tree. He was an aide-de-campe to Gen. William Walker, who apparently was part of invasions of Nicaragua in the late 1850s. One record of his time there was written by J.S. Jamison in Confederate Veteran. There is a "C.I. Fayssoux" listed as a private in the 17th South Carolina Infantry; he enlisted there in Oct. 1863, but had to be discharged for ill health. According to the Abridged Compendium of American Genealogy, he was "Cdr. vessel in CSN; later maj. CSA." This seems to be confused; he did command vessels before the war, but not, according to his biography in the Confederate Military History, vol. 10, during the war.  [1, 2]
  Obituary	A long obituary article appeared in the Times-Picayune on August 31, 1897 entitled "Captain Fayssoux Yields to Death." The next day, another article published, entitled "Captain Fayssoux Borne to His Rest."
  Death	30 Aug 1897	Vicksburg, Warren Co., Mississippi
  Burial	Lafayette Cemetery #1, New Orleans, Louisiana

  Notes	He is also recorded as an SAR member, via his mother: CALLENDER IRVINE FAYSSOUX, deceased (7807). Son of Peter and Rebecca (Irvine). Fayssoux; grandson of William Irvine, Brigadier-General Second Brigade Penna Line; grandson of Peter Fayssoux, Surgeon-General for South Carolina. He is buried in the McLellan tomb in Lafayette Cemetery; here is the inscription: C.I. FAYSSOUX, BORN NOV. 1, 1820 DIED AUG 30, 1897 [OBVERSE] CALLENDER I. FAYSSOUX His papers are kept in the Latin American Library at Tulane; see <https://archives.tulane.edu/repositories/8/resources/2244>. They include scattered correspondence of his, partly related to his career as an officer in the Texas Republic navy; a morning report of troops stationed at Rivas, Army of Nicaragua, 24 April 1857; and miscellaneous Fayssoux family items. Also see the papers of his son William McLellan Fayssoux, and the entry in the American National Biography for "William Walker (8 May 1824-12 Sept. 1860)."
