John Mullany was my great-to-the-seventh grandfather, and legend has it he lost his arm in the battle of Mobile Bay. Presumably, the guy here is the same as the J.R.M. Mullany mentioned on several websites as the commander of the USS Oneida during the Battle of Mobile Bay. The main article should be his full name. -- Kendrick705:57, 24 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
Actually here (official U.S. Navy history site) there's a J. R. Madison Mullany mentioned repeatedly, so I'm fairly sure now. Though I'm not positive whether it is John or James; and if he went by his next-to-last name, that would explain his descendant's confusion. -- Kendrick706:39, 24 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
The Congressional Record mentions a James R. M. Mullany, so changing the move proposal again. I'm fairly positive that J.R.M. Mullany, Robert Madison Mullany, James R.M. Mullany, and J. R. Madison Mullany are all the same person. I'll wait a few weeks and make the move. -- Kendrick707:06, 24 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
Nah, I'm moving it now. If there was more than one J.R.M. Mullaney commanding ships in the Civil War, sorry for the mix up, but this makes sense to me. -- Kendrick707:23, 24 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
