I have the marriage license for my ggrandmother, Susan Vaughn, when she married George L. Jones in Pensacola. It is signed by "S. E. Robinson, Minister of the Gospel", on 13 August 1854. Can anyone here identify Rev. Robinson for me? Thanks.

He is listed elsewhere in the Escambia County Marriage Records as Samuel E. Robinson. When you Google that name along with "Pensacola" you will find he was a Presbyterian Minister from Euchee Valley Presbyterian in Walton County, FL in th e 1850s. He was later associated with Rev Peter Donan of the First Presbyterian Church of Pensacola. Further Googling may turn up even more. The original link to the Euchee Valley info is now dead so you will have to use the cache option to find the text. Jerry Merritt John C.

John, (I had just written this when Jerry's message came through, but I'll send it anyway for what it's worth." At this point, I only know his name was Samuel E. Robinson. He performed a number of marriages in the mid 1850's in Esc. Co. FL. As we (WFSG) are indexing the marriages, we are listing the names of the pastors and putting in the church or denomination if we know it. There is a Samuel E. Robinson, minister, in 1850 in Warrington. Ancestry index lists him as mulatto, but I don't think that is right. I think the census taker was just going ape with ditto marks and forgot he had one marked "m" at the top of the page. He is not listed in 1860. I am collecting names of early local ministers and what churches they served. When/if I find out about Mr. Robinson, I will let you know. Cynthia
