Admiral Andrew Hull Foote¹

• Father: Gov. Samuel Augustus Foote² b. November 8, 1780, d. September 16, 1846
• Mother: Eudocia Hull² b. October 20, 1782, d. January 12, 1849

• Relationship: 5th cousin 6 times removed of Steven George Levine

• Reference: 6406dfdbgb

• Admiral Andrew Hull Foote was born on September 12, 1806.²
• He was the son of Gov. Samuel Augustus Foote and Eudocia Hull.²
• He was educated at the old Episcopal Academy at Cheshire, Ct. He had for a classmate Gideon Wells, afterwards Secretary of the Navy, and went immediately to sea under old Admiral Gregory. Entered the Navy in 1822 as acting midshipman, became passed midshipman in 1827, and Lieutenant in 1830. In 1833 he was Log Lieutenant of the Mediterranean Squadron and in 1838 circumnavigated the globe as First Lieutenant of the sloop of war “John Adams,” participating in the attack on the pirates of Sumatra. During the cruise of the “Cumberland” he not only induced the crew to forego the use of spirits, but personally superintended their religious instruction, delivering an extemporary sermon every Sunday. In 1848, in command of the brig “Perry' off the African coast, engaged for two and one-half years in suppressing the slave trade. In command of the sloop “Portsmouth,” supported by the “Sevant,” he attacked the Chinese forts at Canton, massive granite structures, mounting 176 guns and garrisoned by 5,000 men, breaching the largest and strongest, and landing with a force of 280 sailors and marines, carried the work by storm.
  
  At the beginning of the Civil War, 1861, Commander Foote was executive officer at Brooklyn Navy Yard. In July he was commissioned Captain, in Sept. he was appointed Captain, in Sept. was appointed Flag Officer of the flotilla fitting out in western waters. On Feb. 4, 1862, sailed from Cairo with a fleet of seven gunboats, of which four were iron-clad, to attack Fort Henry on the Tennessee River. He attacked the fort on the 6th without waiting for the arrival of the land forces under Gen. Grant, and in one hour compelled its surrender. On the 14th attacked Fort Donelson, on the Cumberland river. The action was sustained with great vigor on both sides for one and a quarter hours, when the fleet had to haul off because two gunboats had their steering apparatus shot away and were unmanageable. Capt. Foote was severely wounded in the ankle, his ship, the “St. Louis," was struck 61 times, but he proceeded down the Mississippi and commenced the siege of Island No. Ten, which he reduced. In July, 1862, he was appointed Rear Admiral, and in May, 1863, was ordered to the command of the South Atlantic Squadron. While preparing to leave New York City for Charleston he died. He was the author of “Abrua and the American Flag,” 1854, “Letters on Japan,” 1857.
  
  Admiral Foote's sword is preserved as a sacred relic of the New Haven Historical Society. On the gold scabbard is the following inscription: “Presented by the citizens of Brooklyn to Flag Officer Andrew H. Foote as a testimonial of their high personal regard of their appreciation of his eminent professional char. acter, distinguished public service and moral influence in a long course of active duty, and especially of his efficiency in suppressing the slave trade on the coast of Africa; his gallant conduct in the destruction of the barrier forts in China; his masterly skill and energy in the creation of a flotilla, and of the brilliant and intrepid bombardment therewith of the fortifications of the Tennessee, the Cumberland, and the Mississippi.” He d. at the Astor House, N. Y. City, June 26, 1863.¹
• Andrew married Caroline Flagg on June 22, 1828, as his first wife.¹
• Andrew married Caroline Augusta Street on June 27, 1842, as his second wife, They were second cousins.¹
• Commodore Andrew H. Foote was a Connecticut Yankee, a small man with burning eyes, a jutting gray chin-beard, and a long, naked upper lip. A veteran who had fought the Chinese at Canton and chased slavers in the South Atlantic, he was deeply, puritanically religious, and conducted a Bible school for his crew every Sunday, afloat or ashore. Twenty years before, he had had the first temperance ship in the U. S. Navy, and before the year 1862 was out, he would realize a lifelong ambition by seeing the alcohol ration abolished throughout the service. At fifty-six he had spent forty years as a career officer fighting the two things he hated most, slavery and whiskey. It was perhaps a quirk of fate to have placed him thus alongside Grant in the attack on Fort Henry on the Tennessee river, who could scarcely be said to have shown an aversion for either. But if fate juxtaposed them so, in hopes that they would strike antagonistic sparks, then fate was disappointed. Foote, like Grant, believed in combined operations, and had joined with him in bombarding Halleck with telegrams urging the undertaking of this one. Army and Navy, the commodore saud, 'were like blades of shears --- united, invincible; separated, almost useless.'
  
  On the afternoon of the 5 Feb 1862, while in conference with Foote and the two division commanders aboard the flagship, Grant got a chance to make a first-hand inspection of one of these new implements of war. A gunboat tied up alongside and her captin sent word that he had fished a torpedo out of the river. He had it there on the deck, he said, in case the commodore and the generals wanted to see it. They did indeed want to see it, if only as a diversion. The conference was bout finished anyhow; little remained to be done except to await the arrival of the Second division, still being brought in relays from Paducah. Crossing over to the gunboat, the commodore and his aides and the generals and their staffs clustered on the fantail and stood in a semicircle looking down at the torpedo.
  
  It appeared to be quite as dangerous as they had feared. A metal cylinder five feet long and a foot and a half in diameter, the thing was made especially venomous-looking by the pronged rod extending from its head. Grant wanted more than a look, however. He wanted to know how it worked. So the ship's armorer came with his wrenches and chisels, and while he tinkered the intereted officers watched. Suddenly, as he was lossening a nut, the device emitted an ominous hissing sound, which seemed to be mounting swifly toward a climax. The reaction of the watchers was immediate. Some ran, exploding outward from the semicircular cluster, while others threw themselves face-downward on the deck. Rank had no precedent; it was each man for himself.
  
  Foote sprang for the ship's ladder, and Grant, perhaps reasoning that in naval matters the commodore knew best, was right behind him. If he lacked the seaman's agility in climbing a rope ladder, he made up for it with what one witness called 'commendable enthusiasm.' At the top, the commodore looked back over his shoulder and found Grant closing rapidly upon him. The hissing had stopped. Whatever danger there had been was past. Foote smiled.
  
  'General, why this haste?' he asked, and his words, though calmly spoken, were loud against the silence.
  
  'That the navy may not get ahead of us,' Grant replied.
  
  'That the navy may not get ahead of us,' Grant had said, and it was if he spoke from prescience. In the combined attack, as in the scramble up the ladder, Foote came out on top. The navy fired not only the first shot and the last, but also all the shots between, and suffered all the casualties as well: 12 killed and missing and 27 wounded, compared to the fort's 10 killed and missing and 11 wounded. Fort Pillow was a mean-looking place, with the balance of the guns from Columbus dug into its bluff, and he did not think the navy could do the job alone. Downstream there was a confederate flotilla of unknown strength, perhaps made stronger than his own by the addition of giant ironclads reportedly under construction in the Memphis yards. The commodore was feverish --- 'much enfeebled,' one of his captains wrote --- still on crutches from his Donelson wound [sustained when a cannon shot struck the superstructure of his flagship, the St Louis, killing the pilot and injuring others in the pilot house], which would not heal in this climate, and distressed, as only a brave man could be, by his loss of nerve. In this frame of mind he applied to Welles for shore duty in the North; which was granted with regret.
  
  On 9 May 9 1862, he said farewell on the deck of the flagship, crowded with sailors come for a last look at him. He took off his cap and addressed them, saying that he regretted not being able to stay till the war was over; he would remember all they had shared, he said, 'with mingled feelings of sorrow and of pride.' Supported by two officers, he went down the gangway and onto a transport, where he was placed in a chair on the guards. When the crew of the flagship cheered him he covered his face with a palm-leaf fan to hide the tears which ran down into his beard. As the transport pulled away, they cheered again and tossed their caps in salute. Greatly agitated, foote rose from the chair and cried in a broken voice across the widening gap of muddy water: 'God bless you all, my brave companions! I can never forget you. Never, never. You are as gallant and noble men as ever fought in a glorious cause, and I shall rmember your merits to my dying day.' It was one year off, that dying day, and when the doctors told him it had come he took the news without regret. 'Well,' he said quietly, 'I am glad to be done with guns and war.³'
• Wounded in the battle at Donelson on February 14, 1862, Foote was obliged to accept shore duty about a year later. Thoroughly dissatisfied with this type of assignmnet, he then prevailed upon his old Connecticut friend, Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles, to appoint him to the command of the squadron off Charleston.⁴
• Andrew died on June 26, 1863 in Astor House, New York, New York County, New York, at age 56, while en route to the fleet. A rugged sailor, with piercing black eyes, Andrew Hull Foote evoked the qadmitarion of the other New Haven men who served in the War for the Union. The local G.A.R. post was named for him, and his portrait was hung in the New Haven Colony Historical Society as a reminder of his patriotic services.⁴
