Colonel Robert G. H. Kean, of Lynchburg, Va., chief of the
bureau of war of the Confederate States during a large part of
the existence of that government, was born in Caroline county,
Va., October 7, 1828. His grandfather, Andrew Kean, was a
distinguished physician in his day and was offered by Mr.
Jefferson the first chair in the medical department of the
university of Virginia. The subject of this sketch was prepared
for college at the Episcopal high school, under the charge of
Rev. (afterward General) William N. Pendleton, and at the famous
Concord academy, under the -charge of Frederick Coleman. His
reputation as a scholar dates from his early boyhood. In 1848 he
entered the university of Virginia and there took successively
the degrees of bachelor of arts, master of arts and bachelor of
law. No student ever left the university more distinguished for
scholarship than he.
In the autumn of 1853 he settled at Lynchburg and began the
practice of law, which he pursued with a success commensurate
with his abilities and attainments until 1861, when he enlisted
in the Confederate army as a private in the Lynchburg company,
Eleventh Virginia infantry. General Ewell thrice offered him a
staff appointment, but Mr. Kean refused, saying: "If some men of
our position do not remain in the ranks, how can we expect men
who have less at stake to stand by us." It was while thus
serving in the ranks that he was sent for by General Beauregard
on the night preceding the day of the battle of Manassas, to
take part in a council of war.
Finally, in 1862, at the urgent insistence of his friend and
connection, Gen. George W. Randolph, he accepted a position on
his staff with the rank of captain, and on General Randolph's
appointment as secretary of war, he was commissioned by
President Davis, "Chief of the Bureau of War." This position he
held until the close of the war. Upon the fall of the
Confederacy he left Richmond with President Davis and his
cabinet, and, stopping at Danville, opened the war office there
for a few days, proceeding thence to Greensboro and Charlotte,
N. C., where he, with other officials, was discharged from
further duty.
It is important to note here that the heads of the different
departments were preparing to destroy their official records
when Mr. Kean protested vigorously against it, taking the ground
that they contained matter of history which would be invaluable
in vindicating the South against any malignant or untruthful
charge which might be made against her. His earnest protest
prevailed, and thus, through his instrumentality, the truth of
the history of the great struggle of the Confederacy is
preserved in the "War of the Rebellion Official Records," since
published by our National government.
Mr. Kean's position in Richmond threw him in close and constant
touch with many of the leaders of the lost cause, and gave him
rare insight into much of the inside history of the war. In a
diary which he kept during the time much of this is recorded.
All the correspondence between the two governments regarding the
Federal prisoners at Andersonville passed through his hands and
his account of the matter can be found in Vol. I of the Southern
Historical Society Papers, page 199.
Returning to Lynchburg in the autumn of i865, he resumed the
practice of law and pursued it steadily until death closed his
useful and honorable career. He was long recognized as one of
the leaders of the Virginia bar, at a period in its history
prolific in able lawyers, and was chosen second president of the
Virginia state bar association, his only predecessor in that
office being the venerable judge William J. Robertson.. As a
scholar Mr. Kean's reputation was considerable. One of his
letters to Prof. John Tyndall on a scientific subject was
embodied in its entirety in an address by that distinguished
scientist before the royal society of London. His public
addresses and contributions to the press embrace a great variety
of subjects and exerted a wide influence. A distinguished member
of the faculty of the university of Virginia has said that his
address before the Educational society of Virginia on the
subject of the "Economy of Higher Education," induced the
legislature to raise the annual appropriation to the university
from $15,000 to $40,000. Nor was this his only service to his
alma mater. For many years he served on her board of visitors
and for two full terms as rector, and throughout his whole life
he never missed an opportunity of advancing her interests.
In 1854 Mr. Kean was married to Jane Nicholas Randolph, daughter
of Col. Thomas Jefferson Randolph, and great-granddaughter of
Thomas Jefferson. By this marriage he had six children' three of
whom survive, one, Capt. Jefferson Randolph Kean, being a
surgeon in the U. S. army.
In 1874 he was again married, his second wife being Adelaide
Navarro Prescott, a member of a distinguished Louisiana family,
who with her four children survives him. Mr. Kean died at his
residence in Lynchburg, on Monday morning, June 13, 1898, in the
seventieth year of his age. At the time of his death he was,
with the exception of Postmaster-General Reagan, of Texas, the
highest civil officer of the Confederacy living. Conferate
Military History, Vol. III, pp. 976-977.

After serving some time as a civil engineer on the Chesapeake &
Ohio railroad, he entered the merchandising business in
Lewisburg. He was married to Mary Maxwell Hunt on December 13,
1866, and five children were born to them: Conrad Hunt Syme, Dr.
William Henry Syme, Eliza Hunt and Jane Grey, all of Washington,
D. C., and Mary Maxwell, who married the Rev. Henry Waddell
Pratt, and who now resides at Abbeville, S. C.
Samuel A. M. Syme continued in the merchandising business until
about 1878, when he went to California and engaged with the
California Street Railway System, which had just installed the
first cable line in use in the United States. He returned from
California in 1886 and accepted a position in the Government
service in Washington, where he has since resided."
