I just came across an interesting tid bit on this issue:
“Some of the sacred vestments and vessels, which remain in use until today, were made for ths church [Holy Trinity New Orleans] during the year 1886, by the then Emperor of Russia, at the request of the Russian bishop in America who visited the church spoken about during the said year 1886 .”

Conoutas, who seems (or his sources) to have conflated a few things, is writiing as a Greek, in Greek, for Greeks. Given this context, it is interesting that he reports an attempt of the “Russian Bishop” to exercise solicitude over the Church in New Olreans. It is odd that he folows up with this “The first priest of the Church spoken of is supposed to have been one belonging to the Russian Mission in America. But his name today no one thinks of, nor is it found in the minutes of the council of Church.”

That would be, of course, Honcharenko. Conoutas footnotes this remark with “So writes us a good expatriate on the spot k. N. Bellamore, who served for years and continuing as chairman of the board of the trustees of the Church.”
