Notes

!SOURCE: Email from N. Combs to Weldon Whipple, 8 Nov 2004. Cites Charles' entry in The Twentieth Century Biographical Dictionary of Notable Americans:
PICKERING, Charles Whipple, naval officer, was born in Portsmouth, N.H., Dec. 23, 1815. He joined the U.S. navy as midshipman, May 22, 1822; was promoted lieutenant, Dec. 8, 1838; commander, Sept. 14, 1855; captain, July 15, 1862, and commodore, Dec. 8, 1867. He was executive officer of the Cyane, and conveyed the Strain surveying party to the Isthmus of Darien in 1854. He was ordered to Greytown, Nicaragua, to investigate the treatment of American citizens, and finding it outrageous, he bombarded the town and completely reduced it in four hours. He was inspector of a light-house district near Key West, Florida; was the first to command the U.S.S. Kearsarge, and was transferred to the Housatonic, commanding that vessel when she was sunk by a submarine torpedo near Charleston, S.C., Feb. 17, 1865. He later commanded the Vanderbilt; was ordered to the Portsmouth navy yard in 1865, and was retired, Feb. 1, 1867. He died in St. Augustine, Fla., Feb. 29, 1888.
