This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/hMB.2ACI/85.1 Message Board Post: Hi Jaqueline, We have a Robert Smith who served in the Union Army and was married to a Syntha Pryor, born in Clay Co. I have conflicting claims on Roberts birthplace, namely Clay Co and the state of Virginia. He served in the 43rd Missouri Infantry. He apparently died in Texas while still in the army about 1865. Hope that helps, John
