I am researching African Americans who lived in Texas before or after the Civil War who participated in the Confederate military as soldiers, servants, cooks, laborers on the breastworks in Galveston, Houston, Sabine Pass or elsewhere.

I currently have the names and something biographical on more than 50 such individuals. In most cases these men were in Texas units, however, there are some who served in other Confederate states and later lived in Texas.

Information by anyone with names or information on African Americans serving in the Confederacy will be appreciated.

Thanks,
MIC
