"I checked the CWSS site and found your James Farley (Colored). He was 1 of 2,225 recorded as being with the 25th Tenn Cav. There was also John Cumins and a John Cummings perhaps the same person listed as a waiter. If he too was "colored" that would make 2 out of 2,225. I viewed all 2,225 from Aarons, Robert to Young, Martin.

How many did I miss?"

What's up with that?"
=============================================================================================

Like I said, race is usually not listed with indexed names. The full record has to be examined and I have access to the service records not just the index.

Remember, whether cook or teamster if they were ENLISTED they were soldiers.
That was the definition then as well as now.
