ROBERT ASSUMED THE NAME SAMUEL FOX. HE WAS CHARGED WITH STEALING OFFENCES IN SYDNEY IN 1886 & SKIPPED BAIL. HE AND THE FAMILY GO MISSING FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS AND THEN SETTLE IN TOOWOOMBA UNDER THE NAME OF FOX. FAMILY STORIES TELL OF HIM GOING TO AMERICA TO SEARCH FOR GOLD & HE CONTRACTED TB DURING THIS PERIOD. I AM YET TO FIND WHEN HE ACTUALLY WENT SEARCHING FOR GOLD. WAS IT THESE TWO YEARS BETWEEN 1886 AND 1888, WHEN I FOUND NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS ABOUT HIM ON TROVE. HE DIED IN TOOWOOMBA IN 1894 & IS BURIED IN THE DRAYTON CEMETERY. ON HIS HEADSTONE IT STATES THAT HE SERVED UNDER GENERAL CUSTER IN THE MODOC WAR. WE DO KNOW FOR A FACT THAT ROBERT HAILD SERVED IN THE AMERICAN WARS BETWEEN 1870-1873, BUT IT IS YET TO BE PROVEN THAT HE SERVED WITH CUSTER.
