Will post about John M. as soon as I check a few things and take care of my daughter's financial aid stuff for UNC.

Frankly, I am in awe of my illustrious company!!! I am not worthy!! I have so much to read to catch up with all of you!!

About Beall, was he involved in any blockade running around Port Tobacco, and does anyone know how I can find out about ships that were seized for the Union around Washington, DC and Alexandria?

Re Post #18. Google "Potomac Flotilla". There is a list of all boats. Pick a name and Google that. When you have a chance, post some specific questions. I have parts of logbooks (April 13 to April 24, 1865) for about 25 gunboats - maybe I can help. I am working on a story about the "Reliance" that involves Gen George Armstrong Custer. Wierd, eh what?

PS. There were Navy boats, Army boats, Detective boats, so we may not be able to get them all. Lafayette Bakers cousin (Stanard) was in charge of the boats in Alexandria, VA - that gave Baker his "own Navy".
