Description: Plain Jane 1 US NAVY YARD, NEW YORK 1849 PAY VOUCHER SAMUEL JACKSON ASST SURGEON DESCRIPTION Pre-war naval pay voucher, signed by "Saml Jackson”. United States Navy Yard, New-York, Nov 1, 1849 . Certifies payment received from "EDWARD T. DUNN, Purser in the United States Navy on account of my Pay, &c.". 2 1/4 x 6 3/8, part printed on light blue paper. The ship's Purser was primarily responsible for the handling of money and the procurement and keeping of stores and supplies. Unlike their line counterparts, pursers originally did not hold rank. An 1854 Act of Congress legalized the relative rank conferred upon pursers by General Order of 27 May 1847. Pursers with more than twelve years' service ranked with commanders and those with less than twelve years ranked with lieutenants. In 1860, the name of the position of Purser was changed to "Paymaster". Ashore naval logistics, which had been the purview of civilians, were transferred to Paymasters throughout the 1860s.
