George F. Winslow of the USS Marblehead-- Part 2: Also Saw Service in the Spanish-American War

Them other George F. Winslow was probably the one from the Marblehead.

GEORGE F. WINSLOW

Mate 25 January 1863

Acting Ensign 23 May 1863

Acting Master  14 January 1864  (Perhaps for his gallantry at the Battle of Legareville on December 25, 1863?)

Honorably Discharged  5 January 1868

Lieutenant Spanish-American War 12 July 1898

Honorably Discharged 26 November 1898

So, he was a veteran of both the Civil War and the Spanish-American War.  I did not find any relation with John Ancrum Winslow, the hero of the CSS Alabama battle.

This was all I could find on him.
