Back on June 20-21st, i wrote about the death of Confederate Naval Officer Lt. Peter U. Murphrey at the home of Paul Revesics on Mobile Bay. I found out some more information on him.
Paul Ravesics had been captain of a company of the 3rd Alabama Cavalry from Mobile.. His wife, Virginia Humphries Ravesics died August 11, 1902 and is buried at Mobile's Magnolia Cemetery.
Then I found something about Co. E, Humpheys Dragoons.
On e-Bay, I found a history of Mobile, Alabama, written by Sub Rosa in 1885, titled "Scenes and Settlers of Alabama." Sub Rosa was the pseudonym of Paul Ravesics. E-Bay said it consisted of 2/3 historical text and 1/3 ads from Mobile, Alabama. AND... you can buy it now for just $429.95. Such a deal!!
Rasevics was transferred from the 3rd Alabama Cavalry and promoted to the Inspector general's Department.
There is also record of his suing the government of the United States July 24, 1888 in Ravesics vs. U.S., No. 875. The suit was to recover fees for services rendered as shipping commissioner for the Port of Mobile.
