| Notes: |
| Lawson gives the date of one game as Oct. 1859, and Morphy left New York on 30 Oct., so this match must have ended in Oct. 1859. The New York Saturday Press of 29 Oct. 1859, the New York Clipper of 12 Nov. 1859, and the New Orleans Sunday Delta of 13 Nov. 1859 give a result of +16-9=1 for Knight odds games between Morphy and Thompson, including three separate match results recorded here at +1-0=0, +5-3=1 and +10-6=0, respectively. |
