Samuel Morgan
Samuel was born in the Bahamas in 1831. He was mustered into service as a "seaman" November 27, 1861, with Captain Mulrenan's Florida Volunteer Coast Guards. He remained in this unit until mustered into Confederate service on April 25, 1862, when he was enlisted as a 1st corporal in Captain Smith's Company (Key West Avengers), 7th Regiment Florida Infantry by Major R. B. Thomas at Tampa, Florida, for a period of 3 years or the war. He is reported present; on active duty; $50 bounty due for service since March 5, 1862. He is reported as present on all company rolls until an undated roll for the period April 30, 1862, to November 14, 1862. This roll documents his transfer to the C.S. Navy on August 8, 1862, and assignment to the CSS Chattahoochee as a sailmaker.
The vessel sank as a result of a boiler explosion on May 27, 1863. He emerged unscathed, and was sent to Georgia, for assignment as a sailmaker's mate in the recently commissioned CSS Savannah. He served in CSS Savannah until December 21, 1864, when the vessel was fired and scuttled to avoid capture by General Sherman's forces at Savannah. He continued service and was listed as captured following the Battle of Sayler's Creek on April 6, 1865, at Burkeville and documented as "able seaman, CS Navy". (Private Jules Chabert, Private Charles Miller, and Private John D. Sands would also be transferred and assigned to the CSS Savannah) . He survived the war and died at Key West, Monroe County, Florida in 1904.
It is not unlikely that he, along with several other "Key West Avengers" would make his way north to continue service;
