Robert W. Murray served in the Confederate Army for four years. After the close of the war, he brought his wife Mary Walker back to see her family. Her mother having died in the meantime, she never returned to Tennessee. As a result the families have been separated. Phebus record. The following information was transcribed from the book "Biographical and Historical Memoirs of Eastern Arkansas" published by The Goodspeed Publishing Co. 1890. The copy of the book was located in the Woodruff County Library, Augusta, Arkansas. Transcribed by Robert L. Knight on November 8, 1993. "R. W. Murray is one of the pioneers of early history of Arkansas, and one who has been largely instrumental in the rapid and steady growth of his adopted country. Mr. Murray is a Tennesseean by birth, being born in Hardeman County, July 18, 1831. His parents, James and Eliza (Beazel)-[note the spelling is incorrect] Murray, were also Tennesseeans, and about 1845 came to the State of Arkansas, settling in Woodruff County, and resided there until their respective deaths in 1863 and 1866. Their family was a large one, but only seven children are now living. R. W. Murray was about eight years of age when brought to Arkansas, and here he grew to mature years and received such education as the schools of that day afforded. He became familiar with the duties of farm life at a very early date, but when the war broke out he dropped all work to take up arms, and enlisted in Company A., Eighth Arkansas Regiment, serving about three years. After the cessation of hostilities he returned home and again took up the duties of the farm, and has made agriculture his calling ever since. Owing to his early removal to this State he has witnessed the developmant of Woodruff County into a very prosperous county. He was married in 1861 to Miss Mary M[alissa] Walker, by whom he had eight children, only three of whom are now living: Lee, Addie and Stella. His second marriage took place in 1882, his wife being Miss Sally E. Campbell, and is the mother of two children: Elmo and Edith." Note again that this was published in 1890, and thus does not give the names of the other two children: Eva and Campbell.
