Question 1: Does anyone know anything more about these two brothers, John and Levi Robinson who came to Texas? I am trying to find information about their families to see if there could be any relation to a Walter Robinson, or a Mrs Sarah F Robinson. I have a land document which names :heirs of Walter Robinson in 1858, and I am trying to find more on who that was and how he may be associated with these Robinson brothers. My relative is Walter John Robinson, born 1857 in GA to (Walter?) and Mrs Sarah F Robinson, who lived in Texas after about 1870 and is buried in Mexia Cemetery in Mexia Texas. Question 2: Does anyone know I could find out who had these 42 other lots in the Robinson homestead area, or other members of the Robinson population? Were there any other Robinson families in the area who owned land in 1850s? From the Handbookof Texas Online (From Texas Historical Assoc.) http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/handbook/online/articles/RR/hfr7.html ROBINSON, TEXAS (McLennan County). Robinson, on State Highway 77 six miles south of Waco in central McLennan County, came into existence after brothers John and Levi Robinson established homesteads in the area in the early 1850s. The original Robinson home was built on land that later became the J. W. Mann farm. To encourage the growth of the village in 1856, the brothers surveyed 171 acres of land and marked off forty-two four-acre lots for other homesteaders. The Robinsons sponsored the settlement's first school in 1860, when they hired a private tutor for their children. The teacher, Mr. Moore, lived with the Robinson families. From 1879 to 1906, Robinson had its own post office. Postmasters included J. R. Robinson and L. B. Foster, both of whom also operated general stores. In 1885 Robinson had a population of 600 that supported three cotton gins, two churches, three general stores, and a school. J. W. McKee and Sons, a broom factory, was also in operation. In 1888 Rev. ! John Strauss founded the Robinson Academy. The weekly newspaper was the Robinson Bulletin. By the late 1890s, the population had dropped to 300 despite the continued operation of the broom factory. Three churches were built during the latter years of the nineteenth century-the Baptist church in 1866, the Presbyterian church in 1874, and the German Evangelical Lutheran church in 1884. Social clubs founded in the early twentieth century and still functioning as late as the 1950s included the Merry Robins and the Chatter Club. Robinson was incorporated in 1955. In 1958 its site comprised twelve square miles adjacent to Waco. -Thanks so much, Diane
