Senators from MS:

Back in 1870, the first black sent to the US Senate was Hiram Revels from Mississippi. "Often", he is attributed as filling the seat previously held by Jefferson Davis. [Even by the 1870 New York Times archive article on the topic.] This is an error.

According to US Senate records, Revels filled the seat previously held by Albert G. Brown. Davis' seat was filled by Adelbert Ames (R).
