Hi Janet, I think you are right - that Stokely Rob was in Rob Co TN, not Williamson Co, IL. I don't really remember now, and didn't go look at my records. I have lots of information on these other Robertsons in Rob Co Tn, deeds, wills, etc., but haven't been able to ever tie any of them up with "our" Robertson family. They must have lived in the same general area, as they do appear on estate sales for each other and that sort of thing, but not as signers on anything important. I have the same situation in Williamson Co, IL - My Joseph was there by 1839, as was a Henry Robertson (mar. Mary Spiller). They had also been in Rob Co TN beforehand, and Henry I believe is a son of a William Robertson who died in Rob Co in 1806. They (Henry and Mary) had children named Joseph, Wiley, Winnie, etc. which is a strange coincidence if they are not related. As I work on this as time permits, I pretty much have to start at ground zero each time I start up again, because I lose the thread. I have been in contact with Gary White, and he has given me some clues about where to look also, which sent me to southside VA counties for early records. If I locate any estate settlements which answer our above question, I will send on to you. Bonnie
