Robert served as a corporal under Capt. Minor Sturgets in the US Army 24th Regiment US Infantry from June 1813 to March 1815 and was wounded in battle.[1] In a battle led by 2nd in command Maj. Andrew Holmes on August 4, 1813 against the British at Fort Mackinac, Corporal Raines sustained a permanent injury consisting of a rifle ball imbedded in the ankle which could not be removed in those days. He was discharged March 5, 1815 in Detroit, Michigan. The record states that his wife came to Detroit Territory hospital to get him. Corporal Raines & his wife were given travel rations to his place of discharge. National Archives for Robert Raines' record has many pages on file, including his medical discharge.
Robert and Martha (Ketchum) lived in Tennessee at the time of his discharge, later moving to Alabama between 1829 and 1830. They were enumerated in the Blount County 1830 U.S. Census. Robert received a disability pension beginning June 19, 1832 of .00 per month and a Bounty Warrant #23405 in Blount County, AL in September or 1833, for 160 acres of land plus an additional 40 acres later that year. Robert & Martha's daughter Joannah married in Blount Co. AL Dec 27, 1827 to Hiram C. Niblett. That record is in the archives in Alabama.
