I am looking for a Dr Robinson who was briefly married to Sarah F. Calhoun and had children Mary b 1850 and Emma b 1851 and Walter John Robinson b1857 all in Georgia as far as we know. The only records we have is the re-marriage of Mrs Sarah F Robinson to a Dr Morris in 1859 Montgomery Alabama, on their way from GA area to Louisiana. We have Sarah and the Robinson children in 1860 and the two girls in 1870 but not Walter John age 13. In 1880 Emma and younger brother Walter are in Texas, and so is the stepfather and step siblings, just in a different area. Info on Mary Robinson b1850 is missing. Family story from two seperate branches has that the father was named Walter and was a Doctor, possibly from VA, NC, or SC, before practicing around Atlanta. Supposedly Sarah was involved with two Robinson brothers, and possibly was married to one brother before marrying the other. Also heard was that Dr A. P. Morris was a business partner of Dr Robinson. Dr Robinson was supposedly a landowner and slaveholder and had a medical practice as well, and was much liked by all. She supposedly married Dr Robinsons business partner Dr Morris after the good doctor Robinsons illness and sudden death. My family just had Sarah's her husband and the childrens father Dr Walter Robinson died during the Civil War. And that after two or so years of courting she finally gave in to the advances of his surviving partner, and they married. Dr Morris was said to have squandered all the Robinson money and was mean to the Robinson children. They were sent to live with family friends the Dulaneys in Texas. Most of this family story is not true. Sarah married Dr Morris in 1859, before the war even began officially. We can find no information on her earlier marriage or divorce or death of a Robinson male between 1857-1859 who may be the childrens father. I can also find no record of any Robinson yet, who is a physician who could be the father of all or some of Sarahs Robinson children. There is a Walter Robinson who was a prominent landowner and slaveholder who was an invester (not a medical man) and planter in GA who had a son named Walter J Robinson b 1857 who went on to live in Florida. The dates and locations a are very close but no exact match, and the sons are found on different census place records at the same time, so they are two seperate people. So close though! So-- any help would be appreciated. I am trying desperately to track all people who claim to be Doctors in the southeast (VA NC SC AL GA FL areas) and who may have trained or apprenticed either Dr Allen P Morris or Dr (Walter or John or unk first name) Robinson. I may have found records for an Allen Morris in the household of Dr Asa Mc Coy, a physician in Alabama in 1850. Any connection to Dr Asa McCoy to any Georgia physicians or to a Dr Robinson in particular would be great news for me! Please help, or share ideas about where to go next. I cant afford to pay for lookups and I am not in the south right now to do it myself in person!
