Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships doesn't help.

Under Confederate ships:

BLUE WING

SwStr:
t. 170

BLUE WING, employed by Confederates near Helena, Ark. in November 1862, was found to be carrying contraband for planters. In December 1862 she was seized for violating the river blockade and then employed as a Union army transport. In late December 1862 while towing army coal she was fired upon by the Confederates near Napoleon. Her captain being
sympathetic to the southern cause ran her into the bank and there delivered her over to them.

No mention of other vessels with Blue Wing in the name. I've got somebody looking in Way's Packet Directory.
