Are William Black (soldier) and Edward Black (soldier) the same person?

edit

From the information provided here at William Black (soldier) and at Edward Black (soldier), I wonder if they are, in fact, describing the same person (same birth/death dates, both drummers with the 21st Indiana Infantry regiment, etc.).

I have started a discussion over at Talk:Edward_Black_(soldier) in which all interested editors are invited to participate. — Archer1234 (t·c) 20:41, 2 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
