And it all came from the same source. My family has stories about being Irish/Scots, having 8 siblings(or possibly cousins included) and coming over to America abt 1800. This DOES NOT match up with actual data found that proves we are descended from William C Robinson b 1824, a landowner, slaveholder, and physician in Jasper & Newton County Georgia. It can be shown that this William C Robinson is son of John Robinson, who was son of John Luke, who was son of Luke Robinson. In this family the names Luke, Jesse, & Martha come up a lot, as well as being healers/physicians comes up often. Our group is from the Carolinas but is in area of Newton/Jasper County GA by as early as 1800. And although our Luke is the "EKA" Earliest known ancestor for our group, he is said to have been born in the USA, probably VA, and obviously before 1800. So- although there are similarities and circumstantial evidence to connect the two families, there are also discrepancies when I try to match these two families up. Anyone else have any ideas or information that may show a connection between our Luke Robinson who married Christian Ussery then Obedience Leggett Adams--- and ---(probably 2 generations later in the same location) this physician Luke Robinson, son of Jesse I. & Elizabeth E. Robinson, who the son of Luke Robinson a baptist preacher in Henry County? All help appreciated. Thanks! Diane sources for some info is: Men of Mark in Georgia A Complete and Elaborate History of the State from its settlement to the present time, chiefly told in biographies and auto- biographies of the most eminent men of each period of Georgia's progress and development. Edited by William J. Northen (former governor of GA) Historical Introduction by Editor John Temple Graves A. B. Caldwell, Publisher, 1907 And possibly her sister Martha is the same as this Martha: Martha Robinson b 1749/50 married William Bratton, d1816 GA. Bratton family tradition states that Martha Robinson/Robeson/Robertson was born on a ship bearing her parents to the American colonies from Northern Ireland. She grew up learning about herbal medicines and home health care from her Ulster=Scots elders in VA or NC. She brought that knowledge with her when she married William Bratton and moved with him to the area that would become York County in the 1760s.
