I am seeking any information on this individual. While a Lt. commanding the above U. S. steamship in the Straits of Florida in 1860 he captured a laden slaver, the American-owned William, before that ship could reach her destination of Cuba. The William was brought into Key West, Florida, the nearest port, with two other slavers captured by other Navy ships that year. We have just marked the cemetery of the nearly 300 Africans who did not survive and were buried in Key West.
