My father commanded the ironclad gunboat, USS St. Louis, during the Civil War. In 1912, I temporarily commanded the Department of Hawaii as a Colonel of the 1st Infantry Regiment. In 1913, my daughter, Isabel, married the son of one of the most famous generals of the Union Army, who happened to share his fathers name. Who am I?

Phil Sheridan II married the daughter of George McGunnegle III. Some of these military families of the times weren't much on originality when it came to naming their children.

Credit for question and best of luck to you.
