RESPONSE: From the 1860 Clay Co. transcribed Fed. Census sold by Mr. James WELCH, here is: Dwelling 957 ROBINSON, Edward, 38, b. NC - farmer . .Russell, 14, b. Clay Co. . .Clalvin, 12, b. Clay Co. . .James, 11, b. Clay Co. . .Harvy, 9, b. Clay Co. . . Theophilus, 8, b. Clay Co. * * . . Robert, 7, b. Missouri . .Gabril W. P., 4, b. Clay Co. . .Catherine, 16, b. Clay Co. . . Rhoda, 37, b. Clay Co. WHITE, Susan, 21, b. NC . Inela, one month, female, b. Clay Co. NOTE: Their marriage record shows as follows from the Clay Co. Marriage Index, Book I: ROBERTSON, Edward to LUNSFORD, Rhoda - lic. date: 22 Sep 1841; mar. date: 22 Sept 1841, File 9 I am not related and not familiar with this family; however, there may be something amiss. It is very odd to see a wife listed at the end of the census listings as Rhoda is listed here. On the 1850, this family appears as follows in Clay Co.: Dwelling 732 ROBERTSON, Edward, 29, b. NC . .Roda, 26 . .Matilda, 9 . .Catherine, 7 . .Russell, 5 . .Calvin, 4 . .James, 3 . .Martha, 3 mo's . .Harry, 3 mo's LUNSFORD, Abraham, 15, male - no relationship shown Living at the next dwelling is: Dwelling 731 ROBERTSON, Charles, 23 (mar. to Nancy COMBS in Clay Co. as of 1-6-1849) . .Nancy, 22 . .Margaret, 10 months Again, living not too far away from Edward is: Dwelling 715 ROBERTSON, William, 33, b. NC . .Nancy, 30 . .Patsy, 13 . .Gabriel, 11 . .Julius, 9 . .Charles, 7 . .Elizabeth, 5 . .John, 3 Dwelling 720 ROBERTSON, William, 43, b. NC - farmer . .Winney, 36, b. NC . .Elizabeth, 19, b. NC . .Charles, 18, b. NC . .John, 16, b. NC . .Julius, 13 . .Mary, 12 . .Isham, 10 . .Woodward, 8 . .Polly, 6 . .Catherine, 4 . .William 3 mo's NOTE: Where there is no state indicated, presumed is KY. There probably is some family connection among these folks but I am not aware of what it is. By the 1870, the annotated Fed. Census sold by Mr. James WELCH says: Dwelling 50 ROBINSON, Rody, 46 (divorced from Edmond) . Theophilus, 19, work on farm . . John, 10 Hope this gives you some help. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable with the family can help you further. I do see in the Clay Co. marriage Index, this other marriage as follows: ROBINSON, Edward to PHIPPS, Mary T. on 30 Dec 1866, File 13 That could be his second marriage after their divorce as indicated above.
