Robert Bruce Saunders served
in the Civil War from Haywood and was also
in a Tennessee Mounted Infantry in the Mexican
War.  He is also ancestor of Brownsville resident
Gene Campbell.

R. B. Saunders born in Virginia moved to
Tennessee in 1850 living there until 1874 when
his family migrated to Texas.  In 1966 many of
his grandchildren had memories and stories of
him.  Finding this portrait in  old trunk of a
granddaughter was a highlight.

Some of his military documents are at the following URL http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~elizabethanne/saunders/
