This information is contributed by Wanda GROVES Kohlmann I also have an ancestor who was in the Confederate Navy. His name Jacob Taylor GROVES, born Duplin Co. N.C. 1845, died 1913. He was not a sailor, but did work on the ships as he learned blacksmithing from his father. He escaped from the Wilmington, N.C. blockade in 1865 just prior to the end of the war. Buried at Hillsborough Co. Florida. He is my great grand Uncle. His father was John Kelly GROVES born Duplin Co.
