John Coffee's and Col. John Allcorn's Regiment of Volunteer Mounted Gunmen for the Natchez Expedition under Captain John Baskerville in Sumner County, Tennessee. He enlisted, according to government documents, December 9, 1812, but according to Captain Thomas Bradley, it was September 26, 1813. Robert was paid $33.33 per month and his total pay was $51.10. The government sued his estate for the price of his horse and other equipment that Robert lost during the battle. Robert did not have a will and his wife, Ann L.
