Nor have seen reports of a Confederate general (out of 400 appointed) born outside the Confederacy.There were a few, not many. Two that come to mind are Samuel Cooper, who was a full general in the Confederate army and served as Adjutant General for the duration of the war. He was born in New York. And Josiah Gorgas was the head of the Confederate Ordinance department and promoted brigadier general in the later half of the war. He was from Pennsylvania.
