Can anyone tell me where William Conway born 1808 in Camden, Maine a USN Gunner, seaman and quartermaster is buried.
In January of 1861 Conway was serving as quartermaster at the Warrington Naval Yard at Pensacola Florida. When the yard was being taken over by the confederates he was ordered to lower the flag of the United States which he refused to do. He was clapped into Irons and later sent north and served the Union cause throughout the war.
He received commendations, has a marker stone marker in his hometown of Camden and had a USN destroyer DD-507 named for him (USS Conway)
