Hello again! Now that I've wrapped up my dad's ancestry during the conflict and general era (including the Old West) as well as my maternal grandmother's more easy to find Confederate ancestry in Texas.
I've hit two roadblocks on the other two lines of her family and what they were doing during the War. First, the Roberts'. On my profile page I have one Granville Roberts listed as in the 49th Kentucky Infantry (Union), but more info has come to light whether I have written down the right guy. Granville was born in 1831 and hailed from Rockcastle, Kentucky. He died in 1913 in Monon Township in White County, Indiana.
Here is his Geni page:
Two of his sons went to Texas, the other son, DeWitt Roberts, my ancestor, left for Albuquerque, New Mexico. Was my takeaway.
Barnett Lee. My Confederate ancestor's son on my grandmother's paternal grandmother's side married one Cora C. Wiseman who was from California, whose father in turn was one John Calhoun Wiseman from Texas. The mother whose last name was named here as Castelle (I've read some web pages that infer her last name was Casteel and that her family were Mormon colonists from Utah were the original settling families of San Bernardino, California).

On the other side, my grandma's grandmother "Nana Barker" on the Hardwick side. The Hardwicks married into another local Memphis family at the turn of the century that hailed from Poplar Bluff, Missouri during the Civil War. The Barkers.
The only name from that group I could find was "Nana Barker"'s dad, John Barker born in 1876 and was born in Illinois. Her maternal ancestors, the Humphreys, and one William W. Humphreys, her grandfather, who was 23 years old at the start of the war there next door in Mississippi County, Missouri.
Link to my original thread post:
Allie, a user who has not been active on this site for the better part of a decade, was able to post a biographical sketch of William W. Humphreys.
The Hardwicks had in-laws by the name Pate, and one of them was fighting age who was murdered under unknown circumstances in 1865 there in Saulsbury, Tennessee.
I will provide PDF's of available genealogy data that I do have if asked.
