- He was "with Farragut's squadron in the assault on Fort Hudson, and made many honorable records of service in the United States Navy during the long period of forty years, when he was retired with the rank of Rear-Admiral, May 24, 1871. He was born in 1810, and being nearest the age of Mrs. Martin (daughter of his father's second wife) they "were brought up in the closest bonds of affection, which lasted until his death in 1893," which event occurred at the home of his sister in Wisconsin. His wife, Mary Jones, had died eight years previous, in 1885. They left no children."
