HERE ARE SOME LINKS TO JOHN YATES BEALL. Thanks to J.R.W. for getting me to this point.

He is refered to in some texts as Acting Master, C.S.N
Beall was sort of a Dime Novel Hero around Richmond during his career.
From Jefferson Co Va, he joined up out of UVA and became a Capt, in 2 Va. Infantry in '62. A family connection in the C.S. Marines rewarded him the navy position.
