Chattahoochee Lorenzo Davis Coonrod, son of William [sic] Coonrad and Hester, was born in Chesterfield County, South Carolina on 20 Jun 1832, And died in Jackson County, Florida, on 13 Feb 1910. Lorenzo Davis Coonrod enlisted as a landsman in the Confederate Navy. Lorenzo served on the CSS Chattahoochee from 28 Oct 1862 to 1 Nov 1863, He was transferred to the CSS Savannah on 1 Nov 1863. He was paroled at Augusta, Georgia, in Jun 1865. [FLORIDA CONFEDERATE PENSION A 11030] CSS Chattahoochee The CSS (Confederate States Ship) Chattahoochee is now housed in the Port Columbus Civil War Naval Center. The Chattahoochee was purposely sunk by the Confederates in April 1865 to prevent capture. The ship was raised from the Chattahoochee River in 1964. Lorenzo Coonrod served aboard the ill-fated warship C.S.S. Chattahoochee. Commissioned on January 1, 1863, at the C.S. Navy Yard at Saffold, Early County, Georgia, the Chattahoochee was the most powerful Confederate warship ever to sail on Florida waters. She took nearly 18 months to construct and was captained by Lieutenant Catesby ap R. Jones, who had assumed command of the famed ironclad C.S.S. Virginia (Merrimac) during her epic battle with the U.S.S. Monitor. A number of her other officers and crewmen had also served aboard the Virginia during that engagement. To come up with the more than 100 men needed to crew the ship, Confederate authorities assembled both individuals with prior sailing experience as well as green recruits who had been conscripted into the Confederate army. According to his service and pension records, Coonrod was one of the latter. Assigned to the crew of the Chattahoochee on October 28, 1862, as the warship was being completed at Saffold, he was part of its crew when it becan its maiden voyage down the Chattahoochee River to Florida in January of 1863. He was also aboard the ship when her boiler exploded at Blountstown on the Apalachicola River during a hurricane in May of 1863... Later assigned to the C.S. Navy at Savannah, Coonrod became seriously ill and spent much of the last year of the war suffering from sickness. He lived in Jackson County after the war and is one of three former crew members of the Chattahoochee known to be buried there. *********** ANCESTRY.COM: Lorenzo Davis Coonrod Born in Chester, South Carolina, USA on 10 Jun 1832 to Joseph Coonrod and Hester Coonrod.
