Troops in the Second Seminole War
According to Roy Robinson, Box 31,
Westfork, Arkansas (letter dated December 31, 1962) a company of
volunteers was raised at Clarksville, Arkansas about 1837 to serve
in the Second Seminole War. This company served in the Fort
Gibson area. Among the members of the company were brother,
William Robinson; and their father, William Robinson, Sr.
The latter was a veteran of the Creek War and the Battle of
Horseshoe Bend. The younger William Robinson was either
killed in the service or disappeared soon after discharge.
Murray Campbell was another soldier from the Fayetteville area who
served in the Clarksville company.
