CSA 7-L pair, 5¢ blue on London paper tied blue PETERSBURG Va. APR 30 CDs on clean cover to Miss Jennie P. Barron, Charlotte C House, Virginia. Ex Ralph Swap. $180.
Virginia Pendergrast “Jennie” Barron Baird (1845-1888) was the daughter of famed U.S. and Confederate Naval officer Commodore Samuel Barron. The son and nephew of U.S. Navy captains, he was appointed a midshipman at the age of two, reported for active duty at six and sailed aboard the flagship of the Mediterranean fleet before he was eleven! His is an amazing story.
