Due to a lack of preserved information on the naval personnel of the War Between the States, and even less relating to Confederate Navy personnel, the ships he may have served on and his naval service records have yet to be discovered. He is being remembered at the request of his descendant, largely due to the oral history of his life and his often quoted remark about serving with the Confederacy because of their "better manners".
Ned died at the age of 80 on September 4, 1912 at Armadale in Melbourne and was buried on September 5, 1912.
