"Colonel"?

edit

He seems to be universally referred to as "Col. Payne" so it would be good for the article to explain who commissioned him as such and when. 2600:1004:B110:E053:244F:2BC8:740A:33BA (talk) 19:43, 4 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Apparently he was never a colonel in charge of any army. Among members of the southern gentlemen the title was an honorific treatment.See the article Colonel (U.S. honorary title). Gustavo Rubén (talk) 21:04, 23 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
