David I found a website by a Dr. Willians who is black. These are his figures.

To add just a bit more to the numbers, it is said that balcks served in all Mississippi units except 1. To further add more credibility to these numbers, Mississippi approved ova little over 1,000 black pensions. I am sure you can see the problems may have had getting apension-- education, help with the forms, witnesses etec etc.
