John S. Griscom, USN-- Part 1

While looking up information on Henry Walton Grinnell who made that overland expedition from Wilmington, N.C., to deliver letters to Sherman's army at Fayetteville on this site, the next person listed under him was this man.  And, since he had a Fort Fisher connection, a sad one, I decided to try to find out as much about him as I could.  I couldn't find much.

From U.S. Navy & Marine Officers 1775 - 1900.
