Regarding the pensioner serving in 1777 and 1778 Redstone, Fayette, PA and once in Bladensburg, MD, 1781, since I have the regiment or Captain that he served under, I would think it would be possible to find out if persons of color served with white men. However, does anyone know if this was the case then? Or was it strictly all black regiment/companies? Thanks AGAIN. Dee.

Hi Dee, Having seen references somewhere in the past, I did a google.com search and this website offers a list of source material references which may address all your questions: http://sjcpl.lib.in.us/homepage/LocalHist/revwar.html Three References - LH GEN REF 973.315 N324c Nell, William C.

Dear Jan, Thanks for doing the research to include the below sites. This indeed does go to my question as to men of color serving in regiments with white men, as well as the interesting history surrounding the issue of blacks in the military in the American Revolution. I indeed do thank you so much.
