    2. Debby
    3. I am looking for the parents of my GGGfather- DANIEL ROBERTSON/ROBINSON. I think the name might have been originally Robertson but not sure. He was born about 1820 in Cedar Creek, Dickson County, Tennessee. He married NANCY JONES in Dickson, April 1,1837 by William Moseley a Preacher of the Gospel. Two of the witnesses were JOHN MIXON and GEORGE WASHINGTON ROBINSON. This is according to Nancy's CW pension records. My GGFather's (THOMAS WARREN) obit stated he was born in Cedar Creek also. Daniel had 4 children born in Cedar Creek before they moved to Illinois about 1950-MARTHA BORN ABOUT 1837, REBECCA CAROLINE born about 1865 married GEORGE BROWN, WILLIAM M., THOMAS WARREN(1848) married JULIA REED, ARAMINTAS MCFADDEN, DICEY ANN BAKER and PARTHENIA AVERITTE and DANIEL(5/14/1849) married SARA ALLEN MUSICK-1897. They then had children born in Illinois- JAMES C.(8/18/1851) married NANCY WELTY OR NELTY, NANCY H.(7/18/1853) married FIRTH SMITH, CHARLES(2/11/1856) and MARGARET E.(5/23/1859) married JAMES HARRIS, and a child that died in infancy. Daniel died in the CW in May, 1864. George W. Robinson married JANE JONES and I don't know if they came from the same family or not. I suspect they were probably brothers. I know George was present at the birth of 2 of their children in Illinois. I think Daniel's father might have been ABRAHAM but just not sure. I assume he lived with parents or whatever after he married since he is not listed by name on any 1840 census. I am not sure of all of the marriages listed above but I believe most of them are correct. My aunt said she remembered an Uncle Willie Robinson coming to visit them at times. He and his wife lived in Paris, TN at the time. Any help would be appreciated. This has been one of my brick walls for several years so I thought I would try again for any info.
