    16th Texas Infantry (CSA)
    3rd Sergent

    Note that the sources indicate in the spring of 1865 another 4th Brigade was organized that included 16th Infantry.

    Died 1 Dec 1887  [4
    Cause: pneumonia / typhoid fever 
    • Recorded in Maribeth's info as: d. Jan 1883 ??
    • Attached Wm F Robinson's Family Bible, p1 indicates 'Grandfather Wm Robert Robinson died Jan 188?'. 'When your father was 6yrs old.'

      I am presuming that the 'father' is Wm F. Since he was born Jun 1879, Wm R Robinson died at least after Jun 1885. This disproves the prior 1883 date listed in the docs recieved from Maribeth Jung (compiled by someone else.)
