Bragg was a son of John Venable Bragg (1799-1871) and Elizabeth Jones /or Johnson. He appears on the Fluvanna county, VA censuses beginning in 1840 with his father. In 1850, his father had just remarried and Robert was living with his brother John Franklin, also in Fluvanna. Robert S. and Jane Ellen Haislip were married July 25, 1860, in Albemarle county, VA. On July 22, 1861, he enlisted as a private in the Confederate Army. In 1870 they were living in St. Anns Parish, Albemarle, where Robert was farming. In 1880 they were living in Fork Union, Fluvanna. He and Jane had eight children: William Benjamin, Henry Jackson, George Washington, Williemina Minor, Alexander Reaves, Robert Lee, John Early and James Braxton. By 1900, Robert was living at the Albemarle Almshouse (poor house, listed in census as Wm Bragg) and remained there until he died in 1911. An article on the Almshouse in an 1899 paper stated that residents are invalids and unable to care for themselves. An article in the Charlottesville Daily Progress on October 12, 1911: "Another Veteran Gone" Mr. Robert Bragg, a veteran of Carrington's Battery (aka Charlottesville Light Artillery, elsewhere), died at the County home yesterday morning at 6 o'clock. Mr. Bragg was 81 years old and had been an inmate of the home for 12 years. His remains were sent to Palmyra today and buried at Cunningham Church. Mr. Bragg was severely wounded while in service." In 1912 his wife applies for a widow's pension and gives his name as Robert Smith Bragg. Many years later at the funeral of one of his sons, his name was listed as Robert Sam. This was probably an error of someone's memory. His grave is not marked, not sure if it ever was.
