Records for this soldier are quite confused.  There are entries for Joseph E.
Thurmond (various spellings), James E. Thurmond (various spellings), and J. K.
Thurman.  The CMSR treats them as a single individual, all filed under J. K.
Thurman.  I believe “Jos. E.” and “Jas. E.” are the same person and that the
confusion arose when the CMSRs were copied from the original muster rolls and other
records.  I’m not so sure that J. K. Thurman is the same person, but pending further
research I’ll treat them as one.]

Additional Comments:
I started with a list of soldiers from the Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System and
then used the Compiled Military Service Records to provide details.  I found two
soldiers in the CMSR who did not appear in the CWSS, and there may be others.  
In the roster below, all soldiers were privates throughout their military careers
unless otherwise stated.  I have not included every single entry in every soldier’s
Compiled Military Service Record.  For example, I have not included appearance on a
receipt roll for clothing unless the soldier’s file is extremely scant.  If a
soldier is listed on a muster roll without further comment, then he was listed as
present.  Soldiers absent, on details, etc. are so noted.  Officers tend to have
large files which include various requisitions and receipts which I have not, in
most cases, included here.  
This regiment was orginally the 1st Georgia Partisan Rangers and later the 16th
Georgia Cavalry Battalion before its designation in 1864 as the 13th Regiment
Georgia Cavalry.
