Robert Anthony Hatcher (February 24, 1819 – December 4, 1886) was an American lawyer, Confederate officer, and politician who served in both the Missouri House of Representatives and the United States House of Representatives. He also represented Missouri in the Second Confederate Congress during the American Civil War.
In 1864, Hatcher was elected to the Second Confederate Congress, where he represented Missouri. He served on the Committees on Ordnance and Ordnance Stores and Enrolled Bills.[4]
He served on several committees, including Agriculture, Missouri Levees, and the Census, and was chairman of the Committee on Public Expenditures during the 45th Congress.[2]
He declined to seek renomination in 1878 and returned to legal practice.
Later life and death
After his congressional service, Hatcher resumed his law practice in Charleston, Missouri. He died there on December 4, 1886.
