From the Annual USMA Reunion.
The Class of 1806 was by far the largest of West Point's graduating classes to that time.
The first one, the Class of 1802 had two members.
Class of 1803 had three.
Class of 1804 had two and the class of 1805 had just three.
The Class of 1806 had 15, just one of whom, Eleazor D. Wood, was killed in action during the War of 1812.
William gates graduated #1 and Louis Loramier was last at #15.
