Thank you for the references. I am heading to Mobile, New Orleans and then Baton Rouge shortly. Eliza Scott Boykin, James' wife, had a half sister named Alice Scott Garnett. She was married to Algernon Garnett who was apparently an Assistant Surgeon on the CSS Virginia. Can you comfirm this? She wrote a diary that I will have access to on my trip. I will be happy to share what I find if anything of interest.
