I am researching my husband's (James "Kelly" Stillfield) Robertson (Roberson) line: James "Kelly" Stillfield son of Lucy "Maude" (Cockriel) Stillfield daughter of Elsie ROBERSON Ulrich Cockriel (b. Dec. 21, 1889; d. Nov. 3, 1991) daughter of Daniel Conway ROBERSON (b. Jan. 17, 1951; d. Jan. 21, 1939) son of possibly Clayton ROBERTSON (b. Jul. 18, 1819; d. Jan. 17, 1907) The following information is taken from a handwritten note sent to Maude in November 1996 from Vivian (Chamberlain) Roberson wife of Orris Lee ROBERSON son of Harvey Samuel ROBERSON son of Daniel Conway ROBERSON and brother of Elsie ROBERSON: The following was taken from The Albany Ledger (no date given). She said that some of the information was so faint she could hardly make it out. "Came to Gentry County in 1935 - Robertson (Roberson) Clayton born 7-18-1819 - Died 1-17-1907 married Jane Weese. Children: D. C. Roberson; Emeline Baxter - Excelsior Spgs., MO; T. J. Robertson, Excelsior Spgs., MO; J. L. Robertson, Oklahoma; Lydia Stimety(z), St. John, MO; Mrs. Martha Gay, Sterling, MO." I don't know if this info she found in the newspaper was from an obituary of Clayton Robertson (Roberson) which would mean the locations after each name could be where they were living at the time of his death. This is purely an assumption on my part that I need to check out. She goes on to say that "somewhere along the line the "T" was dropped and starting with Dan, it was ROBERSON. However, Harvey made out Dan's death certificate and spelled it Robinson. Even signed his name as Harvey Robinson." (Harvey was an undertaker.) More.... "Daniel Conway Roberson; Jan. 17, 1851 - Jan. 21, 1939 Catherine (Sophrena) Yingst; 1-11-1854 - 5-19-1951 Harvey Samuel Roberson; 5-15-1883 - 2-4-1962; Buried in Moberly, MO. Married Estella Ann Gotschall." I have checked the 1830-70 Missouri Census Index and found for 1860 a Clayton Robertson; County - Gentry; Page 696; Township or Other Info - Gentryville P.O.; Record Type - Federal Population Schedule; Database - MO 1860 Federal Census Index; ID# MO22993074 and for 1850 a Claton Robertson; County - Gentry; Page 202; Township or Other Info - Miller Township; Record Type - Federal Population Census; Database - MO 1850 Federal Census Index; ID# MOS7a4526033 I also found a marriage record from the Missouri Marriages to 1850 database for a Clayton Robertson and Jane Weese married August 6, 1840 in Clinton Co., MO. There is a question if Daniel Conway ROBERSON's father is really Clayton ROBERTSON. What has raised this question for me is that on the 1900 Missouri Census - Gentry Co., Daniel ROBERSON lists the state of his father's birth as being Missouri and his mother's state of birth as Tennessee. There is also a Clayton ROBERTSON on the 1900 Missouri Census - Gentry Co. - showing the same month and year of birth that Vivian found in The Albany Ledger, a widow and living as a boarder BUT he lists his state of birth as being Indiana. I am hoping that someone may be able to shed some light on the question of Clayton ROBERTSON (ROBERSON). Thank you for any help I can get. Michelle Wierson Stillfield Maysville, DeKalb Co., MO
