Carol, I have never found a record where the name Jonathon was used but, if you are refering to John Breckenridge, the man on the horse, son of David s/o Joh Lewis Castleman; He never attained the rank of General in either the CSA or USA, both of which he served in. The rank General was very likely an honorary state title give to him when he was in charge of the parks system. There isn't enough room here to explain much but if you go to http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~acastleman/castleman/joh_lewis_cas_line/cas_john_breckenridge.htmhttp://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~acastleman/castleman/joh_lewis_cas_line/cas_john_breckenridge.htm
you will find some information and a link to his memoirs "Active service".
