Sources vary on the correct spelling of this soldier's name. The Medical and Surgical History of the War of the Rebellion (MSHWR) lists a medical case for a T. Schrup. However, no record for a soldier by this name exists in The American Civil War Research Database (ACWRD). There is, however, an entry for a Peter Schrap in the ACWRD. Other information (i.e., age, regiment information, date and location of discharge) in these records indicate that they refer to the same soldier.

Schrap's birth date range is calculated based on his age given at the time of enlistment. Schrap was 22 years old when he enlisted on 11 January 1865.
