he enlisted in Company E, Second Infantry Volunteers, under Col. M. L. Stevens, of Illinois, and was elected captain of his company by a unanimous vote, serving from 1863 until August, 1865, when he was honorably discharged. He served principally in Arkansas (34th Arkansas Regiment, Confederate Infantry)and was in two hard fought battles, being in the eight days' fight before the battle of Jenkins' Ferry, besides skirmishes while on scouting duty in Newton and Boone Counties. He was an excellent soldier, but his hard service considerably undermined his health, which has never since been as good as could be desired. Capt. and Mrs. McPherson are members of the Primitive Baptist Church, of which the Captain has been a minister since 1869

Robert was my GG Grandfather. He was born in Henderson Co, TN in 1839. He moved to Mena, AR in 1855 and joined the Confederacy on 25 June 1862. He was in Co. H, 24th, Regt Ark Inf CSA. He was also in Co E, Dawsons Regt. I show him as a Major at the end of the war.

Robert was a Confederate the rest of his life. He flew his flag on his wall all year except Confederate Day when it flew outside his home. He also wore his Confederate uniform on that day and walked around Cumby, TX where he lived. He lived to be 101 and wore the uniform until it wore out. One was rented for his 100th birthday & he was also buried in his originial uniform.
