I mentioned this man in the last post. John Singleton Rudd was the first commander of the USS Lancaster. Also a War of 1812, Mexican War and Civil War officer.
His service record is very near the same as that of John B. Montgomery. Both were on their way out (retired list) when the Civil War started because of advanced age.
From Naval History and Heritage Command.
