I recently found a pension record for my great-great grandfather Christopher Harmond and on it is stated that he served on the USS Susquehanna and on the USS Housatonic.
He joined the Navy 8/15/1862 and was discharged in Philadelphia 9/17/1863 honorably. I have just discovered his military involvement and will hopefully have more info in the future. He lived in Boston, his trade was a steamfitter. He died in the early 1890's in Boston, born in New York.
