More Chaplains of the Navy-1812--1836.

These Chaplain names come off the Register of the navy they cover the years of 1812 to 1836. I had just posted another list called “Chaplains of the Army and Navy” although there were hundreds of names on that list I don’t believe any of these names were on it. If you had a ancestor who was a navy chaplain, or you need to look up one I would look over both list.

Note. At the end of the list of 1836, there will be some added information on the names from this list.

Note. This information comes from the Library of Congress Naval affairs Vol. 1, 2, 3 and 4.
