Re: The C.S. Navy at the Battle of Selma.

The NOR contains period lists of those on duty at the various CSN stations. If memory serves, they are in Series II.

The first quarter of 1865 at Selma would give you a
place to start.

As Wilson't raiders approached, personnel of the Naval iron works there went hither an yon taking equipment
(one huge lathe is on the Auburn Univ. campus).

Given the upheaval just prior to the raid as they tried to transport equipment, fortify the place, and fend off the raiders, an exact roster would be difficult to muster.

Selma has a re-enactment of that battle every April, however. The Selma historical society should be able to
give some information perhaps. I think all of his granddaughers have passed on, but the Jones family flourishes.

Jones's gt grandson has a website on the Virginia; you might reach him through that.
