More on Robert E. Miles

Still in John Banks' Blog.

He has a photo of the grave of Robert E, Miles in Piedmont Cemetery, in Shawsville, Virginia, which has a marker  "Robert E. Miles.  Capt.  CS Army Civil War, Dec. 8, 1839  Dec. 6, 1942.

Here's hoping nothing happens to it July 1, 2020, when Virginia's law protecting Confederate monuments end.

There was also a comment of interest:

She said that Robert E. Miles were her husband's cousins twice removed.  Robert also had two brothers who also served in the Confederacy.

Private James  Henry Miles, 1832-1864  (Killed in Action at Cold Harbor).
Private John Henry Miles, 1836-1905.

All three brothers served in the same regiment at the beginning of the war, the 57th Virginia Infantry Regiment.
