Here is a list of men I take to be men of color, as they were servants and waiters. These names were taken off the pay rolls of the stated regiments be low. Out of the sixteen names only two was ever paid. There will be no other information on these names, but for those looking for a ancestor of color, will find this information very helpful.
Note. This information comes from a book called: Pennsylvania Archives, Sixth Series, Volume 7.
