Surnames: Robinson, Griffin Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.alabama.counties.monroe/267.371.406/mb.ashx Message Board Post: My Great Grandfather was William (L or J) Robinson from Buena Vista, Alabama. The reason I say L or J is that I have found muster rolls that are for the same person with different middle initials. Or so it seems as far as the National Archives goes. Since my grandfather was called Docke by most of the folks that knew him including his slaves I started going thru the obits of the Monroe Journal. In 1884 their is a an obit for W.L or W.J. Docke with an * by it deliniating a difference regarding the last name. The article lists the burial area for Docke as being near Evergreen and his age being 54. I also found a William Robinson with S H Dailey;s Co. Militia. The 36th Alabama Volunteers also interested me since there were Griffin and McKinley who I am also related to. Any information that you can point me towards regarding my GG Grandfather William Andrew Griffin (B. 20 Aug 1846 D. 27 Nov. 1920 Spring Hill Cemetery)or William Littleton Robinson or W. J Robinson (b. abt. 1833 d. abt. 1883) families would be greatly appreciated.
