Capt. H. M. Favrot is a different person than H. B. Favrot. I knew this. I never said the Delta Rifles and Captain H. M. Favrot were the same as the company of Free Blacks organized by H. B. Favrot. The only comparision was the time period; the family name and a your remark "On the other hand, if it falls into the hands of the SCV, they'll have these men fighting in the Hornet's Nest at Shiloh." Which begs the question, so what if it or any Black Confederate fought at Shilo? It would not change the outcome.
