Louisiana : Source : "FREE MEN OF COLOR IN GREY" by Arthur W. Bergeron, Jr.

"Two free men of color—Evariste Guillory, Sr., and Evariste Guillory, Jr.—saw some service as home guards. Both father and son were free mulattoes living on Bayou Mallet west of Opelousas when the war began. They joined Captain M. McDavitt's Company I, Second Louisiana Reserve Corps. No information exists on when they enlisted in this unit, but the regiment did not form until July 1864. The Reserve Corps consisted primarily of men who were over or under draft age or who were in some manner ineligible for regular service, such as discharged or disabled former soldiers. The men of the Reserve Corps saw practically no fighting."
