Need a lookup

[John Winn]

If there's anybody with a fold3 membership that'd be willing to do a lookup for me I'd really appreciate it.

I want to see if I can find a death date/place for:

Robert Lewis Barrett
b. 1843
enlisted in Co. E, 2nd VA cavalry (from Amherst Co.) in 1861
reported to have been killed in 1865

Thanks a bunch ahead of time.

Okay, he turns up in the name search feature, but not the alphabetical list.

Don't see any reference to his death in his CSR.

Don't see any reference to his death in his CSR.

Thanks so much Andy - that really helps. I'm thinking he wasn't killed in the war as there is a guy by the same name in the family cemetery that died in 1869.

Anyway, I really appreciate your help.
