Joseph Cassin, Jr., who died a Lieutenant in 1826.
Philip F. Voorhees, who died a Captain in 1862.
John P. Zantzinger, who appears on the Navy List as “dropped” in 1855, but who was purser of the Hornet in 1815, when she narrowly escaped capture by the British 74 Cornwallis. In that memorable stern-chase all the guns but one, the cables, boats and nearly everything else movable, were thrown overboard to lighten the vessel. From the Congressional records we find that in 1850—thirty-five years after—Congress passed an act allowing Mr. Zantzinger payment for what he had been obliged to sacrifice under these circumstances, when even the knives and forks were thrown overboard.
Richard Delphy, who was killed in the Argus-Pelican encounter, August 14, 1813, and is buried at Plymouth, England.
Dugomier Taylor, who died at sea, as a Lieutenant, October 5, 1819.
Richard S. Heath, who became Lieutenant, and was killed June 2, 1817, in a duel with Midshipman J. L. Hopkins, at New York.
Edward F. Howell, who was killed in the action between the President and the Endymion, January 15, 1815.
H. Z. W. Harrington (Henry W., on navy records), resigned April 12, 1813.
William Jameson, who died a Commodore April 6, 1873, his record surpassing even that of Sloat. He was doubtless the last survivor of the famous encounter of sixty-one years before.
Archibald Hamilton, who became a Lieutenant and was killed in the action between the President and the Endymion, January 15, 1815. He was son of Paul Hamilton, then Secretary of the Navy.
