William L. Marcy, Namesake of Revenue Cutter William L. Marcy

Continuing with my research into the Revenue Cutter Marcy capturing the Confederate privateer Neva in San Francisco.

1786-1857.

American statesman, U.S. Senator, Governor of New York, U.S. Secretary of War and U.S. Secretary of State.

The U.S. Revenue Cutter Marcy was launched in 1853 and named in his honor.
