? Farrell
The surname Farrell appears on RADM Farragut's report regarding the Tecumseh survivors who swam ashore to Fort Morgan and were captured as prisoners of war by the confederates and sent to Andersonville. [1], [2]
A search of Civil War-era rendezvous index cards reveals a number of sailors with the surname of Farrell attached to the West Gulf Squadron in the summer of 1864, but none of them mention a Farrell attached to the Tecumseh herself. Nor does the reconstructed Tecumseh muster roll mention a full name for him asides from "Farrell reported prisoner by ADM Farragut" on the notes on the reverse side of the roll.
