Newsletter Index Good Morning Jodie, I have a question to ask about an obit for my GrGrandpa John W. Robinson. He married Martha Fain in Cass County in 1846. They lived in what became Haralson County until a few years after the start of the War Between the States at which time he sold all his Carroll Co. Land to a man named Brewster. He then moved to Newnan where he lived until shortly after the war ended when he then moved to Atlanta where he died in 1879. I have been unable to find an obit in Atlanta. He is buried in Oakland Cemetery in the Anderson family plot near his daughter. On the off-chance an obit was published in Coweta County can someone look in one of those quarterlies and see if he is listed. He was related by marriage to the HAMMOND, ANDERSON, GARNER, and ADAIR lines. His son's, Norvell and George M., were in the real estate business. George M. disappeared from local records but Norvell apparently moved to Atlanta where he is buried. Both men were married and had offspring. Verbal tradition says one of his sons (we believe it was Michael) supposedly got into a bad real estate deal and his father paid off the debt. George M. held the rank of 1st.Lt in Company "H", 1st Georgia Volunteer Cavalry where he served as its commanding officer. He submitted his commission in 1864 but was carried on the rolls for a few more years. We know from Confederate records that his unit fought at Stones River as well as the defense of Atlanta. Any help would be appreciated. Angus P. Robinson
