For what it's worth, he wasn't listed. His offense may not have earned him the death penalty which this book focused on

Secondly, I noticed the first document Roger posted was typed. This appears to me to have been well after the date of 1865 on the document, as typewriters were not immediately commercially successful, until the 1880's and 1890's.

I am not sure that is a typed document. I believe that it was a typeset, printed piece. E.D. Townsend's name on it smacks more of 1865. The word "extract", however, does seem to indicate that it is a second rendering of the official order -- extracted for whom?
