This is my first thread and I’ll do my best to make it count. Now while doing some research into the man brushy claimed was his real father James Henry Roberts I’ve noticed people have said that their are no records of him that they could find. Well using Brushys account of his father and who he served with I believe I have found a record of him on the nps. Soldiers and sailors data base. He was a private in martins regiment of the Texas cavalry 5th partisan rangers in company H. I’m unsure if this is the man but it matches up with the overall picture Brushy gave us so I think that this could be him. Personally I’m researching both claimants that are John Miller and Brushy, and my research into Brushy and this discovery really improves my belief. 
Also here is an image of Brushy when he was a teen, I enhanced the photo using multiple methods and I hope this will help in people’s comparisons and I give free permission for use
