==Notes==
* The 1997 large UK catalog describes set 6706 Frontier Patrol as containing "Colonel Jefferson and his men". While it is not confirmed, it seems likely this name refers to the Cavalry Colonel, as he has the most prominent position in the set. A less likely possibility is the name is the UK name for Colonel Colt Carson, who also appears in the set.
* He is the King piece for both teams in the Western theme in the video game LEGO Chess, he wears his traditional blue outfit for the blue team (the good guys) and a red outfit for the red team (the bad guys).
* After being absent from a brand new set for 8 years, he later appeared in a new set in 2010, as a magnet minifigure in the set 4613829 Cavalry Colonel Magnet. 
* In the Standing Small: A Celebration of 30 Years of the LEGO Minifigure book that was sold together with The LEGO Book, Colonel Jefferson's hat has no sword design, making it Colonel Colt Carson's hat instead.
