The purpose of this web site is to share research on the men of the 19th Regiment, U.S. Colored Troops, who served as part of the Union Army during the American Civil War of 1861-65. Most of the information comes from the soldiers' military service and pension records at the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) in Washington, D.C., and records of the Archives of the State of Maryland in Annapolis, Maryland. There are about 1,000 men in the 19th Regiment, so it will take a while to add all of them to the web site.
The following are the names of African Americans who were residing in Baltimore, Maryland for the year ending 1864. The list comes from the book, ìWoods' Baltimore City Directory", printed and published by John W. Woods, date unknown. The book listed the "Colored Persons" in a separate section. It listed persons by name, occupation, and home address.
