Possible he was wanted by the law ? I do know there was a Stocking family in Broome county in that era . I have also seen a copy of his photo with his signing "Regaurds John Stocking "on the back that sold on an auction . Do you know why he choose the Name John Stocking rather than his own ?

On it it has the monitor and the marrimac ships carved on it. It has union forever and a soldier standing behind a cannon with the letters R M D over the sodier. My question is these letters have any civil way meaning or it is mayber the persons initials he put on it.

It was nice to see his name finally mentioned somewhere. I've only seen officers listed elsewhere. My mother said her grand father used to say his father described the situation as 'blood and guts everywhere'. My mothers great grandfather was Hans Anderson.
