Sanford R. Lindsey Jr. of Hobby's 8th Texas Regiment. According to the 1860's census Pvt. Lindsey was listed as "a free man of color."  Upon further research of his family tree, Rodney discovered he has six FREE black ancestors who fought for the Confederacy in various Texas Regiments and Calvaries.
