Unit (if any): Eighth Company, 24th Georgia Volunteers in the Army of Northern Virginia

A physician by training, Washburne initially intended to enlist as a surgeon (a role he served during the Third Seminole War of the 1850s), but received his commission thanks to a wildly exaggerated story told by a fellow veteran of the skirmishes in Florida.

[Gandalfus]

Character Name: James Whetton


Alignment: Union


Rank in 1861: First Lieutenant



Unit (if any): Irish Brigade, Army of the Potomac


Biography:

Born to Robert Whetton, an Irish-Englishman, and his wife, Leanne, James was born in Belfast, but grew up in Washington after his family moved there. His father was a soldier in the British army, and continued his profession in the Americas. Robert wanted his son to follow in his footsteps, teaching James the basics on how to use a gun, but little more. James was on the path of a doctor. Civil war erupted, interfering with his mother's best laid plans, much to the relish of his father. He was commissioned as an officer in the Irish brigade; happily serving the Union with a sense of pride and patriotism. His enthusiasm makes up for his inexperience; he has however been taught the basics of what to do in sticks situations by his father.

In 1840, he married Magaretta Sergeant, with whom he had seven children with.
In 1842, he reentered the military as a second lieutenant in the Corps of Topographical Engineers, finding married life difficult without more steady employment.

After the war, he designed many lighthouses on the coasts of Florida and New Jersey, and was involved inbreakwater construction and coastal surveying.
In 1857, Meade relieved Lt. Col. James Kearney on the Lakes Survey mission of the Great Lakes. Completion of the survey of Lake Huron and extension of the surveys of Lake Michigan down to Grand and Little Traverse Bays were done under his command. Prior to Captain Meade's command, Great Lakes' water level readings were taken locally with temporary gauges; a uniform plane of reference had not been established. In 1858, based on his recommendation, instrumentation was set in place for the tabulation of records across the basin. In 1860, the first detailed report of Great Lakes was published. Meade stayed with the Lakes Survey until the 1861 outbreak of the Civil War.
