Thanks for the information. Robert s and robert ate the same. He was never a capt and not sure where they got that information from. At most he is a cpl. Jacob and Jacob jr is Roberts uncle and cousin. Along with Reuben. Turban deserted for a while and then went back in. He died from his wounds before the war ended. I have letters (copies) of my pap writing home and talking if Reuben. Reuben was a cousin also. Capt john Riley Phillips was a friend with all those who enlisted in may as they all left meadowville together. His mother my 3x great gram is listed as a confederate sympathizer in a book about union & confed soldiers and sympathizers in Barbour county. If u notice both Roberts were captured at spotsylvania. They r one and the same. Do u know how I can get more info or where to search. I do know alot due to my uncles diary. Thank u for ur help
