Glad to help.
You say that your grandfather "had 2 ships sunk from underneath him" but all of the ships you list survived the war, with one exception. HORACE BINNEY, his first ship, struck a mine off England in May 1945, damaging her beyond repair. This was long after your grandfather had sailed in her. So unless there were still more ships in which he served than those you list, I cannot confirm that any were sunk at any time during the war, and certainly not while he was aboard.
You can research the fate of each Liberty ship you list (or any others) at http://www.mariners-l.co.uk/LibIndex.html. Search by the FIRST name of the ship, not the last name, which is a traditional maritime way of alphabetizing ship names.
