Okay, has anyone solved the mystery of who's the father of the Robinsons from Hawkins County Tennessee who married into several Breathitt families? Some say the parents are Benjamin Robertson and Celia Patterson of Dobbs County, North Carolina but there is a Benjamin Robinson on the census in Dobbs County in 1790 after the last three children were born in Tennessee??? Does anyone have proofs? Will of Benjamin? Land transfers? i. HENRY6 ROBINSON. ii. JOSEPH ROBINSON. iii. ELIZABETH ROBINSON1, b. 1759; m. JOHN CREECH, 1773, Dobbs Co., NC; b. 1755. iv.
