ROBINSON was born near Ashland, in Fayette County, Ky., September 15, 1817, and was the son of Benjamin and Mary (Beattey) Robinson. His education was received at the old Bacon College, Georgetown, Ky. February 11, 1840, he married, in the county of Garrard, Miss Margaret Hoskins, a daughter of William and Elizabeth (Bright) Hoskins, and to this union were born three children: Mary, Maggie and William. Though an excellent citizen and a man of broad and liberal charity, he was not a member of any church. He died at his home, Camp Dick Robinson, June 13, 1869, and in speaking of this event, the Frankfort (Ky.) Commonwealth took occasion to remark as follows: “When the events of yesterday and to-day have become a part of the facts of history, Richard M. Robinson will be read of as one of the patriotic faithful men, who unfolded the flag of his country above him when peril was in the breeze and the days were full of darkness, acknowledging no other allegiance and worshiping at no other shrine. To that spirit of heroism – that pure and exalted and holy patriotism – was due the founding on this farm, in 1861, by Gen. Nelson, of ‘Camp Dick Robinson,’ where the soldiery of the Union first marshaled in Kentucky and disciplined their ranks for the great contest that has ended in peace and liberty and National integrity. For years the sound of the drum and the fife broke the morning echoes in the vicinity of his home, and now they are gone and green grass grows where the bivouac fires were once lighted and the tents spread their white wings, and the sad vestiges of strife are swept away leaving peace and quietude, his soul finds a proper time to leave its frail tenement and to return to his father and its God. Buried with the honors of the Masonic brotherhood, of which he was a worthy member, and attended to the grave by the largest funeral procession ever witnessed in the county, his life journey is ended and his spirit at rest.”
