Florida sent the highest percentage of Confederate soldiers to the war. By mid-1864, it was tapped out - perhaps McBride was under pressure to recruit and decided he would make up the names?

I guess that sounds like a plausible excuse.
I imagine by 1864 record keeping and verification was not high on the governments priorities.
