I wrote about this officer in my Battle of Legareville-- Part 3 post. With the last name of Winslow, I was wondering if he might be some relation to John Ancrum Winslow who commanded the USS Kearsarge in is fight with the CSS Alabama, so had to look him up.
I only found one mention of him in the U.S. Navy Officers 1798 to 1900
There were two Civil War-era George F. Winslows listed a naval officers.
The second one was:
Acting Asst. Surgeon 26 July 1862
Asst. Surgeon 28 May 1864
Passed Asst. Surgeon 14 June 1867
Surgeon 2 April 1875
Medical Inspector 21 August 1893
Medical Director 23 January 1898
This one was probably not the one from the USS Marblehead.
He has a carte de visit online at the Library of Congress taken while an assistant surgeon.
It says he was son of Captain Giles H. Winslow. Served on steamer Morse 1863 and Osceola in 1864. The USS Osceola took part in the attacks on Fort Fisher.
So, I Might Just Have a Fort Fisher Connection. --Old B-Runner
