I am trying to find other researchers concerned with the surname ROBSON (AKA: ROBESON, ROBISON); married to ATCHESON: I descend from the son *George, found in the following early census record: (M432) 1850 Federal Census: Washington co., Union Twp. (same county of residence as future in-law's of both sons George and Henry, who married to ATCHESON sisters) shows: James Robison, age 49, Coalminer, born in England (abt. 1801) Margaret Robison, age 45, born in England (abt. 1805) James, age of 19, coalminer, born in PA Thomas, age of 17, coalminer, born in PA *George, 11, born in PA [ b. 1839] Henry, age of 9, born in PA Isabella, age of 6, born in PA Jacob Jonston, age of 1, born in PA :therefore, assume this means that James & Margaret have been in US since at least 1831 date, when the first known child is born. Note the spelling of the name to be Robison, and the spelling of Jonston (instead of Johnston which is his mother's maiden name)- assume spelling variances. Sons George and Henry are later carried on military papers for the Civil War as ROBSON. George ROBSON married Sarah Clarinda ATCHESON, b. 1842 in Gastonville, PA the daughter of James ATCHESON and Susan HUDSON Thanks, Looking forward to finding SOMEONE out there also searching the same lines as myself!
