From the book "Highland Pioneer Sketches & Family Genealogies" by Elsie Johnson Ayres. Found the following on ROBINSON, no info on CAVENDER: Page 252-253 ROBINSONS-VETERANS OF THE REVOLUTION Thomas and Louis Robinson arrived in America from Ireland in time to fight for Liberty during the Revolution. Louis lived in the Mowrystown area and at the time of his death was interred in the local cemetery. No trace of a monument could be found for his wife. Thomas, born in 1754, died in Highland County at the age of ninety-eight years. He was buried in the Baptist Cemetery in New Market. In 1800, he and his wife Nancy McMillan, brought their family to New Market. They settled on land granted him for his services in the Revolution. It was located on 400 acres two miles northwest of the village, on the trace leading to Hillsboro. Thomas Robinson was twice married. He was the father of Susan; George; Elizabeth; Jane; William; Sidney; Adams; Robert; Nancy; Sally; and Polly Robinson. William Robinson of Madison Twp. was a brother of Thomas and Lewis Robinson. It was from William Robinson that the eminent Dr. William Robinson Smith of Hillsboro received his name. The family were from Pennsylvania and Virginia. A beautifully scrolled, gold stem-wind watch, inscribed with William Robinson's name, now nearly two hundred years old, is in the possession of the author. It belonged to William Robinson, grandfather of the numerous sons who settled in our area. Thomas Robinson served as a captain during the War of 1812. His sons, George and William, also served in the same conflict. George, born in PA in 1790, married Margaret Hunter, daughter of another soldier of the Revolution. He died in 1860 and his wife, Margaret, born in 1783, died Apr 10, 1849. Their children were George, Jr., 1814-1892, married Jane, daughter of Alexander and Elizabeth Morrow. They were the parents of seven children. The other children of George and Margaret (Hunter) Robinson were Thomas; Robert; John; Nancy; and Margaret Robinson. After the death of his parents, George Robinson took over the family farm which remained in the Robinson name for over a century. Lines, son of George Jr. and Jane Robinson, born in 1841, was one of the first men to enlist in the Union Army. He was a member of Co. H, 1st Reg., O.V.I. Page 274 Hannah, a sister of James Washburn, Sr., married William Robinson. He was a brother of Lewis and Thomas Robinson, veterans of the Revolution. William and Hannah (Washburn) Robinson were the parents of Joseph, 1789; Charles, 1792; Jacob, 1794; Ann, 1796; Henry, 1798; Christian, 1801; Margaret, 1803; William, Jr., 1806; and Mary Robinson, born in 1808. Page 631 David Pulliam...His wife was Isabelle Surber...Their son, George W. Pulliam, born in 1849, married Lucy, daughter of Henry Robinson. The Robinsons lived near Alum Cliffs in Ross Co. and were related to William Robinson of Madison Twp. and to Lewis and Thomas Robinson, who were all soldiers of the Revolution. Page 702 In 1840, Abner and Nicholas Robinson started clearing land on Hayes Survey No. 2,377. Page 810-811 Joseph Robinson of Kent Co., Del., died Aug 20, 1798. In his will he mentioned his wife, Elizabeth, and sons, George; John; William; and daughters, Deborah; Rebecca; Martha; and Margaret (Foreacres). William Robinson, Feb 6, 1765-Feb 23, 1825, his wife, Hannah, and their nine children, John and Henry Fouracres and their families, emigrated to Brush Creek Twp. at an early date. The old Robinson farm contains the burial ground of several members of the families of William Robinson and John and Margit (Robinson) Fourakers. William Robinson settled on land granted for his services in the Revolution. The private burial ground contains the graves of William and Hannah Robinson and their nine children-Joseph, born Feb 20, 1789; Charles, Mar 30, 1792; Jacob, June 3, 1794. Charles and Jacob were bound out when very young to Moleston Curry for six years; Ann, Nov 25, 1796; Henry, Dec 28, 1798; Christian, Jan 31, 1801; Margit (old spelling of the name Margaret), Nov 11, 1803; William, Jr., Mar 10, 1806; and Mary Ann Robinson, Jan 26, 1808.
