During his tenure with the Confederate army, he eventually reached the rank of Brigadier-General. Brevard was captured by the forces of General George Custer and imprisoned at Johnson's Island. He later died in 1882. He was the son of Judge Theodorus W. Brevard, the namesake of Brevard County, Florida and Caroline E. Mays Brevard. He was the son-in-law of Florida territorial governor Richard K. Call. The historian and educator Caroline Mays Brevard was his daughter. == Early life and political career == Theodore Washington Brevard, Jr. was born in Tuskegee, Alabama on August 26, 1835 and studied law at the University of Virginia. He was admitted to the Florida bar in 1858, and later served in the Florida House of Representatives from 1858 to 1859, and in the Florida Senate representing the 10th district from 1865 to 1866.〔(The People of Lawmaking in Florida )〕 On April 14, 1859, he married Mary Call, the daughter of Richard Keith Call.

In June 1860, Brevard was appointed adjutant and inspector-general for the state of Florida.〔 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".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Theodore W.
