In Response To: Re: Native Americans ()

Hi Dave. I'm researching the 1st FL Cavalry, Union Volunteers for a book that I am in the process of writing. The men who were Native Americans were occasionally listed as Indians on the muster rolls but most often were described as dark skinned with black hair and eyes. Part of my research is finding each man in the census records where they were listed as Indians. All were from northern Baldwin County in 1860, which after the war became the western end of Escambia Co, AL. The Creeks in the area were recognized in the early 20th century as the Poarch Creek and have a thriving reservation here. I don't have a list per se. I will be addressing this interesting aspect of the 1st Florida in my book. At this point most folks ask when it will be published. Hopefully next year.

If you have someone specifically in mind I will be glad to check my database.
