Synopsis "List of Free African Americans in the American Revolution: Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Maryland, and Delaware (in English)"
Over 420 African Americans who were born free during the colonial period served in the American Revolution from Virginia. Another 400 who descended from free-born colonial families served from North Carolina, 40 from South Carolina, 60 from Maryland, and 17 from Delaware. At least 24 from Virginia and 41 from North Carolina died in the service. Over 75 free African Americans were in colonial militias and the French and Indian War in Virginia and North and South Carolina. While the information on each of the free Black veterans varies, in most cases the author gives the individual's name, state and county, unit served in, military theater, some family information, often a physical description, pension applied for or received, sometimes other information, and the source.
