Leon told us how Robert was wounded. It happened on the 5th day of the seven day battle over Richmond. The guns in use at the time required time to reload as they were loaded from the muzzle and a rod used to pack the shot home. Therefore they took turns firing--first group would fire and then fall to the ground to reload while second group would shoot over them. They would lay on their left side and use the rod with their right hand. While he was reloading, and reached with his right hand up to ram the shot home, he was shot in the arm four inches above the wrist by an enemy bullet.
Family Memories: He was a very small man. He always smelled of Sloan's Linament (In constant pain from wounds (suffered during Civil War).Julia, grand daughter: "Pa" (Thomas Newton Bottoms) always kept reading material around for us kids. When grandpa and pa would come in from the fields, grandpa would take whatever I was reading and sit on it and say 'Girls, go to the kitchen and help your ma. Go on. Go on.'" What she liked to read most was a church paper "Golden Days For Children".
Family Memories: Grover C., grandson, thought Robert might be 5' 2" tall.
