Comments: from site visitor Cornelia Warner
          I have a family story that claims that Sylvester Prescott was a
          riverboat pilot from Memphis TN. He had taken a steamboat to New
          Orleans and was returning as a passenger on another boat which
          was blown up and he was among the ones killed. The steamship's
          names were not given, nor the river, though I assume it was the
          Mississippi.
