I'm nearly back to normal now! As for my Robinson genealogy I was blessed with the gift of over 300 photographs of Tucker, Robinson, Jackson, Johnson and related lineages (old or antique) plus near 100 postcards that were exchanged by mail and so forth. I have now spent many hours piecing some of the lines together wiht the pictures. I also now have pictures of Martha Robinson - Tucker and family. Many of these pictures are from Iron and Reynolds counties in Missouri. I plan to post many of these pictures on a web site this fall for all to share and print. During this time I found some cousins (they had all moved away from Iron Co.) that I grew up knowing and spending time with in Des Arc that knew some facts about the Robinson genealogy but even with that I still have not been able to 100% confirm the connections. One such fact is my cousins said we had a Uncle Jim Robinson but they were too young to know him but their father(my uncle Glenn Johnson) spoke of him quite often. I asked how he was our uncle and they had no answer. I told them for Jim Robinson to be our uncle, that we never knew due to our age, he could only have been Martha's brother and that would make him our g-g- uncle if in fact he was Martha's brother. I can say this because all other uncles after Jim Robinson are accounted for. Also the church records from 1923 (and earlier) provided to me by Delores Wright were very helpful in confirming that James Robinson and wife Mandy (short for Amanda) did live were I was told and attended the same church as many of our relatives did. I now need to find the father of this James Robinson. I also know what my own mother said many years ago! She said we were related to the Lewis family and the Lewis family married into the Robinson family as did the Seals family. ( I am sure some of you Des Arcians remember "Seals and Saddles" grocery store in Des Arc owned by Buford Lewis and Bud Seals). They were really good folks, too! I spent many a dollar in their store! Ha!) Anyway I have some genealogy on that lineage that was worked up by someone else. I can email it to you if you don't already have it. I have scoured the public records for more leads and really do not have much new to confirm. I think that some of the facts were in Reynolds County Mo. and that is too bad because their courthouse burned at least 3 times and I guess records were lost each time. Right now I an nearly finished with writing a JOHNSON FAMILY HISTORY BOOK and JOHNSON WEB SITE. The web site will be released to the public right after I distribute the books. I am shooting for the date of Aug 15th 2004 if all goes smoothly. My Johnson family connects to the Tucker/ Robinson lineagwe by way of our grandmother ETTA MAY TUCKER- JOHNSON w/o WILLIAM HENRY JOHNSON. What's new with you? Gloria Peace-Griffitts
