Steamer St. Maurice - Vicksburg to Mobile

I am looking for any information on the steamer St. Maurice with regards to its transport of men from hospitals in Vicksburg to Mobile Bay after the fall of Vicksburg. "The river steamer St. Maurice was built in Louisville in 1858 and ran the New Orleans-Bayou Lafourche-Donaldsonville route on Mississippi. She was requisitioned for military service but disappears after 1863."

In particular, is there a compiled list of men aboard this steamer? Any idea as to how many men may have been onboard? I have started gathering names but wonder if I have "bitten off more than I can chew" and if I am repeating work that is already out there somewhere. Here's the very short list of men that I've come up with so far - keep in mind I'm just getting started. With the exception of the first two men below, this information is "second-hand" and I have not verified it with these men's records as of yet so keep that in mind. I would appreciate any information about any of the men on this steamer and where they ended up. I am hoping to get some clues as to where the Wigginton soldier may have been buried by seeing what happened to his shipmates. Thanks in advance for any ideas!

Warren Wigginton - 43rd GA Inf, Co. C - died enroute, burial unknown. (This is a distant relative of mine.)

B.C. Warford (Wafford?) - 41st GA
Hillory M. Holloway - 41st GA Inf, Co. E - Died in Atlanta GA in 1864
Seth H. Lambert - 41st GA Inf, Co. G
A.J. Adcock - 42nd GA Inf, Co, D
James M. Smith - 43rd GA Inf, Co. I
Francis Cook - 43rd GA Inf., Co. A - Died at sea, 8/3/63
Benjamin Franklin Norsworthy - 37th AL Inf, Co. F
James M. Farris (Farniss?) - 37th AL Inf, Co. E
Levi N. Owen - 37th AL Inf, Co. C
