Still looking for any information on the John Marion and Ellen Self Robeson/Robinson family that lived in Marshall and Love Counties in the early 1900's. John died 1919 Lebanon. Ellen died while living with son Charles 1921 in Love County. Daughter Annie was still living with them in 1910 on the census. Her last name was given as Cook. Have no information on a Cook marriage for her. Other children were Mollie, Lizzie, Kate who lived in nearby counties. Maybe someone has a County History Book or other material they might be mentioned in. Thank you, Faye Heffington Littlefield, Texas
