In the Confederate Veteran Magazine, I came across mention of of a Lt. Thomas Ruffin who fought gunboats with cavalry. According to the magazine, he and his company of the 55th North Carolina captured a Union gunboat on the Cheraw River.
There was no further mention of this. I found out that Ruffin was in the 1st NC Cavalry, but doubt that there were any North Carolina Cavalry regiments with that high of a number. There was mention of a Lt. Andrews of the 1st NC Cavalry doing battle with a Union gunboat.
So, I decided this was not the Thomas Ruffin I was looking for.
