Composed the following to a newly found related lister and thought I'd forward it on to the list if there are any more relations out there. I believe we are distantly related. I believe my John Robinson, b. 1738 was the older brother to your Benjamin Robinson, b. 1752, both were sons to William Robinson. I have not verified all this history yet, but do have my gggg-father, John Thomas Robinson in an 1840 Hampshire Co., VA census. Households for his sons: Beverly W. (male), John, William, Richard J. [My ggg-father], and Joseph also appear in this same census. I believe your Benjamin may appear here also. There are also an Alcy, Moses, and Thomas listed [I do not know these individuals and would appreciate any info on them]. Please check out this census at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wvminera/18407.htm I believe My Richard Robinson married Nancy Hook in Hamshire and he and brother Joseph and their father John T. moved to Harrison Co., VA by 1843. The households of Richard and Joseph (with father John T.) are found in the 1850 Harrison Co., VA census. I have the Civil War Military Record for my gg-father, John W. Robinson (son of Richard J.) stating that he was born in Harrison Co., VA in Jan 1843. >From 1850 Harrison Co., VA census: 21st district, enumerated 29 July 1850 Ancestry Image 272 Roll M432_950, Page 135 Robert J.

Joseph is also reported to have relocated to this area, but I have not verified this yet. >From p 159 Sarahsville, Center Twp, Noble Co., OH 1860 census: family no 1213 1172 RJ Robinson46 millright 0 realestate $100 personal property born via Theopolis 21 female domestic born via John 19 student born via Francis 13 female born O [sic VA] margaret 11 born va ellen 3 born o There are other Robinsons in this area. I have many names and fragments, but have not confirmed any relations yet. Also, I do not have any info on sisters to John W. Robinson. John W. relocated to Indianapolis, IN after 1870, then to Louisville, KY abt. 1879. I have a fairly good history on his children and other info to share if you are interested. I would greatly appreciate any additional info you may have on your Robinson line or any branches of related lines. Also any info you might come across on the above Robinsons on you trip to Harrison would be greatly appreciated.
