In the last post, I mentioned his name and he was in charge of the naval cleanup operations on the Cape Fear River after the fall of Wilmington on February 22, 1865.
I haven't been able to find out too much more about him.
I saw that he was in command of the USS Maratanza at both battles of Fort Fisher.
