Newtons in Confederate Naval Service

Besides Charles A. Newton from the last post, I also found these men as serving in the Navy.

GEORGE NEWTON:  Surgeon Steward, CSS Morgan 1862-1864.

JAS. M. NEWTON:  Quartermaster General CSS Arctic, 1862-1864.  This ship was at the Wilmington, N.C. Station.

VIRGINIUS NEWTON:  Midshipman, CSS Beaufort 1861-1862.

W.T. NEWTON:  CSMC.  Held at Point Lookout Prison in Maryland.

I found someone at the GenForum looking for information on these men.  They said that Charles A. Newton was an Acting Master; George Newton was a sailmaker in Mobile, Alabama 1863-1865 and Virginius Newton was a midshipman 1861-1865.
