• Notes

  Could also be “Logan Bouie” - seems to be same person. John Bouie Strange was promoted as First Adjutant of a corps of cadets, and became that institution’s third graduate, in its first graduating class of 1842. During his schooling at VA Military Institute, Bowie was the first cadet to be assigned to guard the Lexington Arsenal, and thus came to be known as the “First Sentinel.‟ The tradition of selecting the “First Se ntinel‟ survives to this day, and freshmen at the Institute vie for the honor of this appointment.t. See John Meyer Book X. William and Mary College confirmed upon him Master of Arts (Artium Magister ) degree. He received a degree in law at Norfolk College, afterwards practicing law in Norfolk and Richmond.
