Cushings in the Union Civil War Navy-- Part 1
From the Officers of the Continental and U.S. Navy and Marines 1775-1900.
I have been writing a lot in the past month on the four Cushings from the same family, three of whom made quite a name for themselves: William, Alonzo and Howard (the last two being in the Army Artillery).
William and Milton Cushing were in the Navy, but upon looking up the name Cushing, I found quite a few others in the Navy during the war.
CHARLES C. CUSHING: Acting Ensign on Admiral Lee's staff November 1864. Honorably discharged 3 October 1865.
EDMUND H. CUSHING: Acting Assistant paymaster, 30 June 1863. Passed Asst. Paymaster 23 July 1866, Paymaster 16 September 1868. Died on USS Tuscarora 11 March 1869.
HENRY CUSHING: Acting Assistant Paymaster 29 July 1862. Discharged 3 October 1865.
MILTON CUSHING: (brother of William) Acting Assistant Paymaster 20 August 1864, Passed Assistant Paymaster 23 July 1866, Paymaster 12 March 1869. Retired List 1 April 1882. Died 1 June 1887.

Milton B. Cushing, USN
I have been writing about the four Cushing brothers who served in the U.S. military during the Civil War. Milton and William were in the Navy and Alonzo, who just received the Congressional Medal of Honor, and Howard were in the Army.
I have just made an entry on Milton Cushing in my Saw the Elephant Civil War blog. He was an Assistant Paymaster on the USS Seneca during the war. This ship was one of the 90-Day Gunboats and took part in the attacks on Fort Fisher.
