Description: Montage of items of my great-grandfather Robert Brown. The photo was taken in 1904. He lived from 1834-1922. He was a proud Confederate soldier and his grave stone was furnished by the UCV ( United Confederate Veterans ). Below the picture is a copy of his Parole form signed May 25, 1865. The records say : Robert Brown, private, Company F, 9th Tenn. Infantry, C.S.A., enlisted May 23, 1861 at Jackson TN., to serve 12 months and that he deserted at Tupelo Miss., on June 23, 1862. Our records also show that R. Brown, private, Co. A ( Neely's), 14th ( also called 13th ) Tenn. Cavalry, C.S.A., enlisted March 14, 1863 at Ripley, Miss. to serve 3 years. He is reported on roll dated May 13, 1864, last on file, as 5th sergeant present. No record of capture or parole has been found. Robert Brown, Co. B 9th Tenn. Inf. C.S.A., is shown on a report, not dated, of prisoners of war surrendered May 25, 1865, at La Grange Tenn., and paroled as having left his command at Atlanta, Ga. July 6, 1864. >>>>>>>>>>>> I have done a lot of research on this. Apparently about half his unit "deserted" after the first year ( when their original enlistment was up ) to join the Cavalry. His affidavits, which he submitted to try to get a pension, state he was wounded in the Battle of Atlanta, and it took him 3 months to get home. From the letters and affidavits it appears he fought as both infantry and cavalry in 1864. The affidavits are signed by the soldiers he served with.
