I have been writing about Henry Schutes, a Civil War sailor who received the Medal of Honor and is buried in Philadelphia's Mount Moriah Cemetery. So, I had to check out this cemetery and see if anyone else was buried there of interest and a lot of people were.
One of them was a War of 1812 naval officer of some repute named Jesse Elliott. So I had to do sone research on him.
I have already written about Elliott in this blog in connection with John B. Montgomery having served under him at the Battle of Lake Erie.
It turns out that a big disagreement between Elliott and Oliver Hazard Perry grew out of the Battle of Lake Erie.
