Col William W Falulner's 12th Kentucky Cavalry organized at Verona MS in Sept 1863. No record of anyone named barlow in that command, or mention of an officer with the last name Robinson.

The only record of anyone named Robert Barlow serving in a Kentucky command is that of Robert P Barlow, 2nd Sgt of Capt James J Murphy's independent Kentucky company. Barlow appears on record as a member of Co C, 14th Kentucky Cavalry, captured at Cheshire, Ohio, July 20, 1863. He escaped from prison by bribing a guard.

This is probably the same man as Robert Barlow, age 16, living in Carroll County TN in 1860.
