The family legend is that he arrived in Carroll County (then Grayson C0unty) VA, via stagecoach, where he remained, married, and had a family of about six or seven children. It is said that even his wife knew nothing about him or his family, or where he came from. I talked with a Robinson man several years ago who worked for the Department of Agriculture and he told me that many of the Virginia Robinsons were reluctant to talk about themselves due to the “scandal” of treasurer Robinson. John William was b. c.1812, m. 1840 to Martha (Patsy) Jane Gardner of Hillsville VA. They were in VA in 1870 census, but by 1880, he and Jane had moved to Union (Lawrence County) Ohio, where he died c.1886. A cousin, the late Dr. Randolph Chitwood, local genealogist and historian, said he suspected that our John came from Christopher Robinson’s line. Do you have anyone in your Robinson genealogy whose son “disappeared”? 1. Helen  - hewick1@yahoo.com / Robinson Rootsweb Admin
