I am trying to help one of the young ladies in our re-enactors unit document her CSA ancestor, in order for her to become a 'Daughter'. Her family has an oral tradition that John Henry Drummond of Accomack County, Va was a CSA sailor, but she has been unable to substantiate the claim. The 1860 Census for Accomack County does indeed list a John H. Drummond, age 30 as a Sailor. He also has a 20 year old Augustus Drummond living with him that is a Sailor.

Does anyone know anything more about this family group or any good leads for helping this young lass prove her CSA Navy Ancestor?

Of course, I am also going to look into her linage and see if there are any other names I can find Combined Service Records for, but she seems discouraged and disappointed that she has not been able to get anything on this specific person. I think it would mean a lot to her to be able to prove what she has already known from her family.

Thanks in advance,

Your fellow compatriot.
