Found the answer- it is Colonal Archibald Gracie IV who survived the Titanic- his father was Archibald Gracie, Jr. who served with the Confederacy as a militia captain of the Washington Light Artillery, was later promoted to brigadier general and killed on December 2, 1864.

I think this was the flag used on Stonewall Jackson's coffin...If so, it may now be a part of the VMI collection....
