I came across a book of his letters dating to 1864. It is titles "A Cockney's Gift to America and was compiled by George E. Cadman in 1968.
I would imagine this George E. Cadman to be a direct descendant.
George Hovey Cadman was a corporal when he wrote about the drinking and debauchery at Memphis in 1863.
He was very obviously a very literate man.
You can also find his papers at the University of North Carolina--Chapel Hill library, evidently in the Southern Historical Society Papers. How the papers of a man from the 39th Ohio Infantry Regiment got there is anybody's guess.
