It was further provided that the veteran soldiers, who served in this corps were, upon muster out, to have all their arms and accoutrements to carry home with them as their own property. These troops served as infantry only.

In the following roster, the name of each man is followed by his postoffice address in Henry County at the time of enlistment. Where the postoffice address is unknown, the name of the county is substituted for it.

In the followino^ org-anizations of colored troops, Henry Countv was but slightly represented and for that reason the several regiments are given in a condensed form.
