L.Hunley, and have some documentation that one of the crew may have been a James Hayes who could have been a Confederate sailor or soldier or operative. Likely to have been stationed In Charleston prior to his sailing on the Hunley's last voyage that ended in his death on 2/17/1864. If your James Hayes had a child later than the end of 1864 we probably are talking different men.
