135th USCT Re-Enactment in Goldsboro, N.C. This Weekend-- Part 1

From the March 19, 2018, Laurinburg (NC) Exchange  "Civil War soldier descendants sought" Beth Lawrence.

A group of genealogists and historians are seeking descendants of the 135th USCT (United States Colored Troops) for the Living History Program to be held in downtown Goldsboro, North Carolina this weekend, April 6-8.  The 135th USCT was made up of formerly enslaved men and American Indians who joined the forces of General Sherman.

The descendants will receive a personal invitation to the re-enactment and will be introduced to their ancestor.

Amy Baner has traced the lineage of many of the 135th's men through their pension records and has made contact with some of their descendants.
