Shirley,
I appreciate the offer. I am looking for any info on my Robinson connection. I am descendant of "Dr. " William C Robinson b 1824 GA, of Jasper & Newton County GA. He married Sarah Frances ...Morgan? and they had three children together. They had a volitile marriage, and at his death in 1858 he had disavowed her and put her out of his will, and in his will gave custody rights of his children over to his brothers! This went on in courts for some time, and I believe from what I can tell so far that she eventually took the kids and ran, getting married just across state line in AL to one of his business partners named Dr Allen P. Morris.

I know some of William C's family story. He was son of John, John L Robinson, son of Luke Robinson. I do not know what the middle initial "C" stood for in this family line. I do not know how he was educated as a physician, and if he was a self taught plantation doctor or if he had some kind of medical apprenticeship or school training.

I would like anything on this Robinson line at all, if anyone has anything I would greatly appreciate sharing.

Thanks!

Diane

Diane, I'm sorry but there are no references to your William in the Robinson book. However, there is a site where you can look up doctors in the 1800's and get some information on them. I will find the web addy and let you know.

Also checked my Robinson book (Genealogy and History of the Robinson Tree and its Many Branches) and corresponding data base. Sorry, don't have him in mine, either.

Where might I obtain a copy pf the Genealogy and History of the Robinson Tree and its Many Branches?

Shirley

Shirley, that's a very good question. My copy was passed down through my family.

I seriously doubt obtaining one nowadays would even be possible unless through sheer luck.

Should one get lucky and find one, they'd be shocked to realize it probably weighs 15 pounds since it was printed on only one side of the page.

Making it even more "user-unfriendly," it contains neither an index nor a table of contents.

I spent quite a bit of time extracting information and entering it onto a genealogical data base last year. I do monitor this message board and run queries through it. Although I don't nesessarily announce the fact that I've done so unless I get a match.

Mr. Oates has, as this Robinson Family's Patriarch:

1. Thomas Robinson was born Between 1675 and 1676 in Pasquotank Co., NC and died January 31, 1719. He married Sarah Symons October 9, 1711 in Newbegun Creek, Pasquotank Co., NC. She was born Between 1679 and 1680 in Pasquotank Co., NC and died August 28, 1717 in Albermarle Co., NC..

If you'd like for me to search for something specific, by all means let me know, and I'll gladly do so. I didn't digitize this thing for any other reason other than to share its contents with interested family researchers.

I'm also attaching a copy of the behemoth's cover, in case you - or others - might want to look for a copy.

Cordially,

~ Jeff
