Thanks >Linda I knew I had typed this name up in the Index I am currently "enlarging of "Leaders and Leading Men of the Indian Territory", Vol. I, Choctaws and Chickasaws By H. F. O'Beirne published 1891. Here is my expanded entry for my index I am compiling: ROBINSON, Rev. Calvin, Choctaw, b. 1827 Father: Amzi Robinson Mother: Emily Folsom wives: (1)Sophia James children of first wife, 10, only 3 survived: McKee, F. and Corina (2)Mary Patterson children: Christo Chrisman Here is the complete article from the Book, page 107: REV CALVIN ROBINSON (Choctaw) The subject of this sketch was born December, 1827 and is the son of Amzi Robinson, of North Carolina, and Emily Folsom, of the Hyah-pah-tuk-kalo clan. He was the first infant ever baptized in the Christian religion in the Territory, and that at the hands of Silas KINGSBURY, the Presbyterian Missionary. Calvin first came to the Choctaw Nation in 1831, his mother dying at Mountain Fork three days previous to Nathaniel Folsom, both of whom were buried in the same spot. Mr. Robinson was married in June, 1848 to Sophia JAMES, by whom he has ten children, all of whom died except McKee, F. and Corina. After the death of his first wife he married in 1880 Mary Patterson, a Texas lady, by whom he has a son by the name of Christo Chrisman. Calvin was ordained in the Cumberland Presbyterian church in 1876, after having held the offices of Ranger and Deputy Sheriff for two years. His clerical appointments are at present at Tulla-hi-kia and Hash-ok-wa, for which he recieves the moderate stipend of three hundred dollars per annum. Rev. Robinson is a thorough Christian, kind, hospitable and tolerant, and looks young and cheerful at sixty-three years. Nalora
