My only documented Robinson ancestor appears first in the 1860 census of Pickens County, AL - already married with three small children. Elizabeth Robinson Williams' tombstone shows her date of birth as March 23, 1835. All census records in which she appears (1860, 1870, 1880) show that she was born in Mississippi. I cannot find her in the 1850 census (age 15) in any county, any state. The 1880 census states that both her parents were born in NC. Two other girls named Elizabeth Robinson found in 1850 in neighboring Greene County (AL) and Lowndes County (MS) have been proven not to be my ancestor. I have not found a record of her marriage to H. G. Williams about 1853 in either AL or MS. The naming patterns of the children of Elizabeth's first born son seem to follow known family names, except for the first grandson, who was named Walter Isaac (Williams). Larry
