(26) GENEALOGY OF MY FATHER'S FAMILY, in part by Mr. James Jackson Dickenson, grandson of LITTLEBERRY ROBINSON one of the sons of WILLIAM ROBINSON Sr., the early settler in Lincastle Co. from South Carolina.
This sketch was written at Castlewoods, Virginia, Oct 11, 1899 by Rebecca W. Semple (?) of Memphis, Tennessee. Dictated by J.J.Dickenson.
William Robinson came from South Carolina about the year 1770, bringing with him his wife who was a Miss Kennedy, also of South Carolina, and was said by some to have been Portuguese blood. She was very dark complected.
He moved to Castlewood, Fincastle Co.,Virginia, 1770. This county is now known as Russell Co. in honor of General Russell of Revolutionary fame. Castlewood was so called from the fact that a bold hunter by the name of Castle was the only man in the country who would dare to penetrate the dense woods inhabited by wild beasts and animals dear to a huntsman's heart. Therefore, it is called Castlewood and the station is so called to this day. It is near this place that William Robinson in 1770 came and located, and this land is still owned by his descendants. They still hold the deed conveying the title surveyed for William Robinson, 617 acres in Lincastle Co. equable (or agreeable) to an order of Council of 16th of December 1770, being part of the Royal Company's grants.
William Robinson had five children: William, Horton, Jacob, Littleberry, and Nelson. (Notice she did not mention Absolom, the family had been the only to remain in East Tennessee).
William married Miss Warden, who was the only surviving member of a large family who was massacred by the Indians. This little child crept under the floor (puncheon) and was saved. The father William Robinson reared her as his child, and she married his eldest son William. After the marriage, they moved to Cumberland Gap and reared quite a family, and from there they moved to middle Tennessee, near Nashville where he bought a farm and had a school house built in his yard. Being a rich man, he decided his children should have advantages of education. His father went to Cumberland Gap to live with him and died there.
Horton (?) married Betsy Legate of Lee Co. VA. They had been sweethearts. He approached her at the loom and said " Betsy, if you will marry me, I will marry you." She said. "I will do it." She did and their descendants still live in Lee, Co. VA.
Jacob married a Miss Kelly, daughter of a pioneer preacher. After the birth of several children, they moved to middle TN. They had fourteen sons. The Kellys had red hair and fine complexion. They settled in Sparta, TN.
John, one of his sons, came to Meridianville, AL. when a boy of fourteen years. Was employed by Rhoda HORTON. At 25 years of age he had accumulated ten thousand dollars, and became a partner of the firm in mercantile business. He married Caroline Louisa, daughter of Captain Walter Otey of AL. Solomon , another son of Jacob, moved to Missouri and was then a practicing physician. Several of the daughters of Jacob were unmarried. So not know of other sons.
Littleberry married Miss Burton of Russell Co. VA, and after many years moved to Madison Co, Al. To their daughter Laurine (Lavine?) who married John Dickenson of Russell Co VA he gave the land grant that his father William early possessed and her decendants own it to this day and the old log home still stands that was first built and occupied by the original owner, William Robinson. The first council that was ever held in the county of Lincastle was on what was called Bunker Hill of this place.
Nelson never married. He was shot by the Indians in Lee Co. His body was found and buried.

Thanks to Bell County Historical Society - Lots of information.
I recieved the following file from Russell Robinson who recieved it from Bobbie Robbinson. His Aunt was Kate Robinson, (whose picture I have here) daughter of Henry Harrison Robinson and Lettie J. Baylor. Kate's
Aunt Katie L. Robinson Aiken, Horton and Pauline Robinson. Kate Aiken, 43, was living in Jacksonville, Fla in 1920 with cousins Archibald Robinson 30, Mary Robinson 66, Clara Robinson 38, Guy Robinson 33, James Robinson 27 . By 1930 Kate Aiken was living in Knoxville in a rooming house. |
brother Benjamine Robinsons son Henry Horton Robinson married my Aunt Lucile Payne. Much of what he has sent seems to be a bit different that the history above which has source information but the more current history is much more pertinent and thus of great interest. This is all in honor of my Robinson kinfolk in North Carolina. From Cousin Joe.
Written for Bobbie Robinson, son of my nephew, Baylor Jacob ROBINSON (called Bob, from the late governor of Tennessee, Bob Taylor, a very close friend of the late Robert Sterling Robinson (Sterling Robert Robinson)), and what I know about the old Robinson ancestors.JRRobinson@aol.comJames Russell RobinsonTazewell, Tennessee Sept. 24th, 1953
Brig. General James Robinson was born in London or Yorkshire, England. He came over and settled in Virginia. I do not remember the name of the town or county.
My grandfather, Absoleum Robinson was a descendant of General Robinson. He was born and reared in Virginia, at what is believed to be Wytheville, Virginia. He came to Tazewell, Tennessee, and stopped at the Rose Tavern, now owned by Ida Rose, then owned by my great-grandfather, Reuben Rose. He met my grandmother Eliza Rose, courted and married her. He then purchased five hundred acres of land on what is now known as Cedar Fork. He built a two-story brick home, also a storehouse and sold general merchandise. He also had built about twenty-five cabins for his slaves. Absoleum Robinson owned about one-hundred slaves when President Lincoln freed them under the Emancipation Proclamation in the year of ____. These slaves built a huge rock fence around the farm at which time are still standing, also the two story brick home he built. (I might add at this time that this property has in the past few years been known as the Creswell Welch property; however, I now understand that it belongs to Mr. Mark Lewis, President of the Citizens Bank, New Tazewell, Tennessee.)
After the slaves were freed, and my grandfather, Absoleum Robinson, had gone on two men's notes at Tazewell for five-thousand dollars each, of which he had to pay, he decided to sell out the farm and move to Sneedville, Tennessee. In Sneedville, he bought the best two-story house and also a store house, and again was engaged in the business of selling general merchandise. This home was next door to the old Campbell Hotel, now known as the Harrison Hotel. There was a little white fence that separated these two pieces of property. It is believed that the old home and store are still there. While living on Cedar Fork, Absoleum and Eliza Robinson had seven sons and two daughters, Reuben, Nelson, Sterling, John, James Kenyon, my father Henry Harrison, and William. The two daughters, were Elizabeth and Sarah. Reuben married and moved to Texas. Nelson married and moved to London, Kentucky, where he lived until he passed away. Uncle Sterling and Uncle John Roinson married sisters, Rebecca and Anne Jones. William died when a very young boy.
James Kenyon, named for General James Kenyon Robinson, and my father, Henry Harrison Robinson, married into the Baylor family. Henry Harrison married Latitia Jane Baylor (called Lettie). Uncle James Kenyon married Mary Curtis Baylor (called Mollie). Lettie and Mollie were sisters. Their six children were my double first cousins. Elizabeth Robinson married a Mr. Neal and moved to Texas to live. Sarah Robinson (called Sallie) married Watson Margraves. Watson and Sarah Robinson Margraves are the parents of Charles Margraves, lawyer, Rogersville, Tennessee, who has since passed away. My father, Henry Harrison Robinson, was the youngest of the children when his father, Absoleum Robinson, moved from Cedar Fork (road leading northeast out of Tazewell) to Sneedville. When he was not quite twenty, he met Latitia (Lettie) Jane Baylor, who was only sixteen. They were married and moved to Sneedville to live with Grandpa and Grandma Robinson (Absoleum and Eliza). While living in Sneedville, Henry H. and Lettie Robinson had three sons, Robert Sterling (named for his .... , Robert Baylor and his brother, Sterling Robinson), Clyde and Benjamin, one daughter, Kate, who of course is myself. We lived there until our father died. Sterling was seven years old, I was five, Clyde was three and Ben was one. Going back a few years, my brother Sterling (your grandfather) was one year old when Grandpa Absoleum Robinson passed away. He, Grandpa Robinson, had gone to Knoxville to buy goods. He rode horse-back and his two wagon loads of merchandise came back from Knoxville with him. Grandma Eliza Robinson said she went out to meet him. He said, "Eliza, bring me a cold drink," and sat down on the porch. She went to the spring-house to pump fresh water and came back with the water and found him dead in his chair. She said it was a very hot day in July. He died of Apoplexia, now known as high blood pressure. Grandma said that he often had to be bled, which was an old relief for Apoplexia. Grandpa Robinson did not drink,chew or smoke. (Note: This too was almost identically the same way Sterling R. died in July, 1945, after going after a bag of sugar for Lizzie.) Grandma Eliza Rose Robinson's brother, Uncle George Rose owned the home and farm at what is now known as the Boyd Fugate home and farm. Within site of the home is the Rose and Robinson grave-yard. My grandfather, Absoleum Robinson, my father, my uncles Sterling, John, and Will, are all buried there. I am thankful to say it is fenced in. I am going to give you the correct list of names of Grandma Rose Robinson's brothers and sisters which is as follows:
(2) BIRTHS:
Anne Rose was born July 18, 1806 Eliza Rose (my grandmother) was born November 17, 1807. George W. Rose was born July 14, 1809. Lucindy Rose was born October 31, 1811. William S. Rose was born October 5, 1813. Leah Luretta Rose was born August 1, 1815. Sallie Rose was born June 16, 1818. William S. Miller was born August 12, 1826 (child of Daniel Miller and Anne Rose)
(3) MARRIAGES:
Reuben and Elizabeth Rose were married April 2, 1805. (Reuben Rose was twenty one and Elizabeth was nineteen. Reuben Rose was born February 16, 1783, King George County, _____. His parents were John and Francie Rose.) Anne Rose was married to Daniel Miller the August 9, 1825. Eliza Rose was married to Absoleum Robinson the 21st of August, 1827. (my grandparents and your great, great grandparents)
(4) DEATHS:
Reuben Rose died November 30, 1860 Elizabeth Rose died July 18, 1862. (She was Elizabeth McCubbins, Grandma (Eliza Rose) Robinson's mother) How I know all of this, I lived with Grandma Robinson most all of my life. I was 18 years old when she passed away. She tried so hard to get me to listen to her, but I was young and of course wanted to be having a good time.
(5) BAYLOR GENERATION:
My Grandpa Baylor told all of us that his ancestors were Scotch-Irish. Three brothers came over from Ireland and settled in Christiansburg, Virginia. Their names were Abraham, Isac and Jacob Baylor. Grandpa's uncle, General Jack Baylor was a son of one of these. Grandpa General Jack Baylor was one of the founders of Baylor College, Waco Texas, Baylor Seminary, Bellmont, Texas, and Baylor College, Chattanooga. There is a street in Dallas, Texas, named Baylor, also a Baylor Hospital. Grandpa General Jack Baylor's home was considered the show place of San Antonio, Texas. (If I had had a son and he had refused to go to Baylor College, Chattannoga, I would have disowned him). Grandpa Baylor learned how to make saddles, harnesses and to half-sole shoes while a young man living in Christiansburg, Virginia. While there he married Lucy Horton. They had one daughter born there, Mary Curtis Baylor (called Mollie). Grandpa Baylor sold out in Christiansburg, Virginia, and came to Jonesville, Virginia, to live. He decided to sell goods. It has been said that his two-story white house and store-house on the same lot are still standing there. His goods were purchased from Baltimore where he had to go to get them. His brother, Harrison Baylor owned a farm in Jonesville. They decided to sell out and bought farms on Big Sycamore Creek (Creek which runs West-Southwest from its beginning in Western Hancock County, Tennessee, to its junction with the Clinch River in Southern Claiborne County, Tennessee.) Grandpa sold goods here and uncle Harrison farmed and had the "old mill" operating. While living in Jonesville, Virginia, Grandpa and Grandma Baylor had seven children born there. Names: my uncles, William, Ben, Edwin, my aunts, Lettie, Mattie, Anne, and Jennie.
On Big Sycamore they had three sons born: Archie, George, and Ross. Archie and George died very young. They were the first to be buried in the Baylor Graveyard. My mother (Lettie) was sixteen when they moved from Jonesville, Virginia. ery soon, she met my father who lived at Sneedville and they were married and moved to Sneedville to live with Grandpa and Grandma Robinson (Absoleum and Eliza Robinson). The first Christmas after they were married, they invited Aunt Mollie to spend Christmas with them. She met Uncle Jim (James Kenyon) Robinson and they were married while there. Aunt Anne Baylor married House Mayes and went to Washington to live. He died eight months later. Aunt Anne came back to Big Sycamore to live. My mother got sick at her wedding and died two weeks later. She (my Mother) was buried in the Baylor graveyard, which is above water. All of Grandpa's farm and old home place is now under water. The Baylor graveyard is on a hill in sight of Uncle Harrison Baylor's old home (and thank goodness, too high for the T.V.A. to put under water). Baylor High School was moved to Howard's Quarters. The Baylor covered bridge, I suppose, is under water. To go back to Aunt Anne, she visited some of the Baylors in Texas, met a Mr. Smith who was principal of the school at Seagorsville, Texas, and married him.
They had one son named Robert (probably from Robert Baylor). Robert had some kind of operation at the age of thirteen and died. They said Aunt Anne grieved so over his death, that she soon passed away. Aunt Mattie died an old maid. She never loved but one man, David G. Colson of Middlesboro, Kentucky, one time Colonel on the 4th Kentucky ____. Aunt Jennie married Fayette Jennings of Lone Mountain, Tennessee. Ross Baylor married Dr. Copenhaver's daughter of Marion, Virginia. He was in the men's clothing business there. Ross Baylor was run over by a "hit and run driver." No one ever knew who killed him. Uncle Ben Baylor married Ella Bickley of Virginia. Had two daughters, Myrtle and Evelyn. They lived and owned a beautiful home at Kingsport, Tennessee. His business place was called "Baylor-Nelmes Furniture Company. He was very well off. He and Aunt Ella are both dead. When my father died, his sister, Aunt Sally Robinson Margraves, was living in Sneedville. She and Uncle Jim wanted Grandma Robinson to sell out. Aunt Sallie Robinson Margraves bought Grandma, Uncle Jim and my mother out and moved into our home. Uncle Jim came to Tazewell and bought what is now owned by Dr. Jim Greer, your Uncle on your Mother's side, and what is now your mother's property, known as the City Cafe. Uncle Jim sold goods there for years. He got the most of my Grandmother's money. The house and store house that belonged to Uncle Jim were painted white with green roof and green blinds. A large green yard in front. A brick walk to the gate. A white paling fence all around the yard, green flower boxes under the two front widows. A grand cistern on the porch. My mother, Sterling, Clyde, Ben and I lived with Grandpa and Grandma Baylor until my mother passed away, just living three years after our father died. When I was nine years old, Aunt Mollie wanted me to come and live with her and my Grandma Robinson. I lived with her until I was 25 years old. With the exception of one year at Rogersville College, Rogersville, Tennessee, and two years in Waxhachie, Texas, with Aunt and Uncle Margraves. Aunt Sallie wanted me to go with her to help take care of Grandma _________. Grandma died at ninety, 1894, and I was 18 years old when she passed away.
(6) ROBINSON ARMS:
The Robinson arms are described by Burke, and is registered in Harold College, London, as follows: London and Yorkshire. Arms: gold, a chevron between three stags. Vest: and as many cingne foils five leaf flowers, which stands for joy and peace. Crest: a stag trippant vest attired gold, bazantee', ancient gold coins (which has to do with bankers).

Robinson Herrington Co- Durham descended from William Robinson, Esq., son of the late Ralph Robinson living in 1502, and represented by William Robinson of Middle Herrington and Ormesby of Scamby County, York. Robinson arms granted in York, 1634. The Robinson Family is found in almost every town and village in America. Most of them are descendants of the Robinsons of England, who were Saxon slaves in that country before the coming of William The Conqueror. The early settlers in America bearing the name of Robinson came first to the Virginia colony from Yorkshire, England. There are records of a number of early pioneers in the Southern Settlements.
Beverly Robinson came from Yorkshire at later date, 1781. We find Alexander Robinson in Maryland. He hailed from Armagh, Ireland, but descended from the Robinsons of Yorkshire.
Many of the Kentucky Robinsons derive their lineage from the parent stems.
Brigadier General James Robinson, known as "The Father of Tennessee," journeyed through the Cumberland Gap from N. C. with a small band of settlers in 1780. The tiny fort these hardy men and women built later became the site of Nashville, Tennessee. (Brig. Gen James Robertson)
(7) SIGNIFICANCE OF THE ROBINSON ARMS:
Arms gold, which is the highest ranking tincture in heraldic art and stands for superior rank and noble birth. Vest signifies Hope and Loyalty in love. Stag: Policy, Peace and Harmony Motto: "Propere et Provide" Quickly and Cautiously.
There are a number of arms bearing the name of Robinson. Most all of those show relationship. Some are almost the same and have the same colors. Vest and gold, with mottoes similar, stag, etc. One arms granted to William Robinson, 1772. William is a family name and has been used for centuries as such. The arms stand out for culture and superior rank.

Because of a natural interest in my ancestors and a desire to know as much as possible about them and those who like myself have descended from them, and because I believe there is this same interest in others concerned, I am setting down in the best manner that I can the meager facts I have been able to procure about the ancestry of my mother, Flora Elizabeth Robinson. In setting forth these few scattered bits of information I have deemed it best to begin with the two most remote ancestors of which we have any knowledge and proceed from them to the present time. The two ancestors referred to are (1) a Cherokee Indian, my mother's paternal great-great-grand parent; and (2) Thomas Henderson, her maternal grandfather. As far as I know there is no record of the Indian ancestor. There is merely a tradition in the family that he was a chief of the Cherokee tribe. Nothing further is known. His name and the circumstances leading to his marriage to a white woman are interesting bits of history that have failed to come down to us. We can only form conjectures based on our knowledge of the times. In the first place it was very uncommon for a white woman to marry an Indian man though marriages were frequent between white men and Indian women. White women were scarce and in great demand as wives by the more numerous male pioneers. Girls were usually married by the time they were eighteen years old, often when they were several years younger than that. Men who were unable to find a white woman for a wife would seek a wife from among the Indian squaws. It is possible that the tradition is wrong in respect to the sex of the Indian ancestor and that it really was an Indian woman married to a white man, Mr. Rose, but the tradition distinctly states the contrary. It often happened however in the numerous Indian wars that white women were captured and thus became the wives of Indian husbands. In cases of this kind they were claimed by the individual captors or by prominent chiefs of the tribe. It was more common for the women captives to be put to death than to be taken as wives, but this happened often enough to make the tradition a reasonable and a probable story. The tradition that he belonged to the tribe of the Cherokees seems to be probably true. At that time (his son could not have been born at a much later period than 1780), the Cherokees lived in Tennessee and were constantly at war with the pioneers of Kentucky, western Virginia, and North Carolina. It is quite possible that he was present at the great gathering of the Cherokees at Sycamore Shoals in 1775 when Kentucky was sold to the Transylvania Company by that tribe.
Reuben Rose, a son of the Indian, lived to be an old man, wealthy and respected, at Tazewell, Tennessee. He had a large plantation, and it is said that he had so many slaves that he did not know all of them. He also had a store at Tazewell. He died suddenly of heart trouble. His children were Sterling, James, Annie, Sallie, and Eliza.
