I am seeking information on a William Robinson who, according to the 1900 census of Perry County, was born about 1869 somewhere in the State of Mississippi. He married Martha "Mattie" Spears October 11, 1891 in Perry County Arkansas. Marriage is recorded in marriage book "B" page 149. In the 1900 census, Enumeration District number 166, sheet 2, Rankin Township, Perry County, William is shown as being 30 years of age, born Oct. 1869 in Mississippi. Mattie, his wife is age 24, born in December of 1875 in Texas. There are three children listed in their houshold: Ruthie Robinson age 8, born in Sept of 1891 in Ark.; Lelia Robinson age 4 born March of 1896; and Josa Spears a sister of Mattie's, age 13 born Oct. 1886 in Arkansas. According to family traditions there were three other children all died in infancy. One was named Arthur and the other two are unknown but may have been twins. Ruthie Robinson married Al W. Butler June 16, 1909 in Perry County. Lelia Robinson married John Kenney June 14, 1910 in Perry County. William Robinson disappears from the record after 1900. It is not know if he died of just left his family. Family traditions say that he ran away with one of Mattie's half sisters (probably Josa Spears) and was never heard from again. Mattie's second husband was a man named John William Buford. They were married (place unknown) about 1908 and had one son, Johnny Buford. The senior Buford died before 1912 and is suppose to be buried in an unmarked grave near Bigelow. Mattie's third husband was Jasper Marion McCabe. Mattie died June 3, 1937 in Tecumseh, Oklahoma. Her parents were Ambrose "Bud" S. Spears and Martha Nabors. Ambrose Spears in turn was a son of Robert Spears. I would like to identify and prove who the parents of William Robinson were? Where in Mississippi he was born? And what became of him? Other sur-name interest in Perry County are: Kenney, Gibbons, Spears, James, Butler, McCabe, Rankin Any help would be appreciated. James R.
