This title was used by the Union Navy during the American Civil War.  Does anyone know if it was still in use during the Spanish-American War? Thanks, Dennis Duffy

No, the rating of boy was disestablished in Feb 1893 by General Order 409, the same order that established chief petty officers. From the 1894 Navy Register:
