Robert Bruce Saunders

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 an ancestor of Brownsville resident Gene Campbell.

R. B. Saunders was born in Virginia and 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.
