African American Patriots of the Revolutionary War from the Daughters of the American Revolution

Military • 46 Records • Uploaded March 17, 2026

This list of veterans was abstracted from the “African American and American Indian Patriots of the Revolutionary War” on the DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution) website. This extract from their Patriot Records Project Index contains only those identified as “Negro” or “Mulatto” and included an Eastern Shore of Maryland, Virginia or Delaware county reference. There are many others who served from those states in the original DAR Index. (Note: only DAR members have access to explore DAR’s database further).
