James Harrod was in Company K, 29th U.S. Colored Infantry per his pension record to Wife Cecelia (Gole) Harrod. We need some Civil War group help in adding sources and connecting. His daughter Sydney Harrod worked as the “Maid” for Actress Gene Tierney’s mother Belle Lavinia (Taylor) Tierney (1893 - 1978 in 1900.

What flag can we use for his civil war sticker? Maryland?

Note: per the NPS—Regiment lost during service 3 Officers and 43 Enlisted men killed and mortally wounded and 188 Enlisted men by disease. Total 234.

Yup I’m going with this as the primary as I don’t see a battle flag yet to use or otherwise laugh


I believe I found his story titled “Recapturing Black History” The Baltimore Sun Baltimore, Maryland 12 Jun 1983, Sun • Page 299

This book looks to be a great read “The book Hearth & Home: Preserving a People's Culture.” By George W. McDaniel. 


I'm not paying attention to you. I'm trying to read Betty White's biography cheeky
