I did not see any Robert Conner listed but there are a lot of Conners in the 19Th Texas Infantry. They fought at Mansfield LA. and the 19Th formed up at San Augstine Texas. You may want to check this group of Conners to see if they are family. It may be that Robert had family in the 19Th and fell in with them.
19th Regiment, Texas Infantry
The 19th Infantry regiment was assembled and accepted into Confederate service at San Augustine, Texas, in May, 1862. Many of its members were raised at Mt. Vernon, Jefferson, and Carthage, and in Rusk County. The unit was attached to Flournoy's, Waterhouse's, and Scurry's Brigade, Trans-Mississippi Department, and fought in Louisiana and Arkansas.
It lost 2 killed, 11 wounded, and 6 missing at Milliken's Bend, was active in the operations against Banks' Red River Campaign, and participated in the fight at Jenkins' Ferry. Later Company K was detached to Marshall, Texas, for guard duty, and the remaining companies disbanded before the surrender in June, 1865.
The field officers were Colonels Ennis W. Taylor and Richard Waterhouse, Jr., Lieutenant Colonels William L. Crawford and Robert H. Graham; and Major Augustus C. Allen.
