James Folger was born on April 9, 1817; the Barney record notes that he died at sea on April 15, 1863. Accordinly in the May 11, 1863 edition of the Daily National Intelligencer, a Washington, D.C. newspaper, there is a record of the death of a James Folger, Acting Master of the USS Roebuck, who died of a gunshot wound on April 15, 1863. The USS Roebuck was a bark rigged clipper ship that made at least trip around Cape Horn to California as a merchant ship before being purchased by the Navy in1861. She was assigned to the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron off the Carolina coast, and intercepted several smugglers on their way to Confederate ports. On March 20, 1863 a party was sent ashore in the bark's launch to investigate a report that a vessel was loading with cotton nearby; they were ambushed and suffered heavy losses before retreating (from the "US Civil War Navies" website, by Terry Foenander). In all likelihood this is when James Folger was wounded; it would explain why a naval officer died of a gunshot wound, an injury more often associated with soldiers than with naval personnel.
