I_L_S: I think I solved your genealogical puzzle on the addressee of the cover -- I venture to guess we weren't looking early enough into 19th century history!

Anyway, the cover bearing a Scott #26 stamp would have first been in use circa 1857. Well, it seems that the addressee died less than a decade later (1867) at the young age of 39.
