Can you confirm that brothers James Burris VanHorn and Arthur J. VanHorn were on board? Supposedly both survived, but Arthur died in Tennessee at a veterans hospital of smallpox.
James was born abt 1831 and died:

Both signed up for the service on the same day... not much is known about Arthur's service but several records exist for James.
Any additional information would be helpful if it exists.
