It has the earmarks of being written down from memory, as the errors it contains don't seem like common transcription errors. It has Nancy Robinson marrying Boswell Mitchell and Susan (Susannah) marrying Richard Mitchell but in fact it was Susannah who married Boswell Mitchell and Nancy who married Richard Mitchell. But the worse error is that it doesn't mention John Robinson as a son of Benjamin and Mildred Robinson. There is no doubt that Benjamin Robinson (1752-1835) had a son named John. Deed records make it clear--there is even a deed of 24 October 1812 (Deed book G, pages 198-199) in which Benjamin is transferring land to John Robinson and calls him "son." And there is no doubt that this son, John Robinson, married Fanny G. Berry. The Bourbon Co., [correction note below - it was Clark County, where Berry family lived - bcs] Ky. The marriage bonds for John Robinson and Sally Berry and for John Robinson and Fanny Berry are signed by Thomas Berry, Jr., as bondsman. Thomas Berry, Jr.'s estate records mention Benjamin Robinson and Joseph Robinson as being the fathers of two John Robinsons who have notes due Thomas Berry, Jr.. The estate settlement even says "John Robinson (husband of Fanny)" And the Berry Bible record I mentioned before has Fanny G. Berry's birth date as 4 Sept. 1884. This is the same birth date as that on the gravestone of Fanny Robinson in Jessamine County, Ky. Also the final heirs sale of the remaining land of Benjamin Robinson in Fayette Co. lists "John Robinson and Fanny, his wife" and Fanny acknowledged the sale as Fanny G., wife of John Robinson. Regards, Joan she sent correction, same day "The marriage bond (for John and Fanny G. Berry) was not issued in Bourbon County, but was from Clark County, which is where the Berry family lived."

The War of 1812 and Saint John, New Brunswick, CND., according to The Philipse-Robinson Genealogies, by Patricia W. Hart, Ottawa 1990; p.12 - Col. Beverley Robinson, 6th son of Hon John Robinson, President of the Council of VA., and his wife, Catherine (Beverley) Robinson, grandson of Christopher Robinson I, Secretary of VA., & his wife, Agatha (Obert) Robinson. see http://www.fayetteky.oilcreekgenealogy.net/content/generation1.html Records of a meeting of Bryan Station Church held on the Fourth Friday in October of 1800, mention Deacons, Benjamin Robertson (Robinson) and Joseph Robertson (Robinson). Records over the next year mention names of several Robinsons who were received for baptism, including two John Robinsons. Benjamin and Joseph Robinson both had sons named John Robinson who were about the same age. Other Robinsons mentioned were Benjamin Robertson (Robinson), Jr.; Lewis Robertson (Robinson); Charles Robertson (Robinson); and Polly Robertson (Robinson). Benjamin Robinson, Jr. and Charles Robinson were sons of Mildred and Benjamin, and the Polly Robinson named here is probably their daughter. Two other names of new members of 1801 are of interest: Sally Berry, who married John Robinson, son of Joseph, and Fanny Berry (Sally Berry’s sister), who married John Robinson, son of Benjamin. Sally and Fanny G. Berry were daughters of Thomas Berry, Jr., and Mildred Allen of Clark County. see http://www.fayetteky.oilcreekgenealogy.net/content/generation2.html acc 7/14/11 this would tell one something about Fannie (her sister) as well as about Sarah: Sarah Berry was born either in Virginia, or in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, and died 3 April 1850,24 Fayette County, Kentucky. She was the daughter of Thomas Berry, Jr. (1757–1839), and Mildred Allen (1763–1828).25 A marriage bond for John Robinson [not my ancestor - bcs] to marry Sally Berry was made 19 April 1802,26 with Thomas Berry, bondsman, present and consenting as father of the bride. John and Sarah Berry apparently were married in Clark County, Kentucky, and lived there until about 1827. Sarah Berry’s father, Thomas Berry, Jr., owned 100 acres on Hancock Creek in Clark County.27 Deed records of 1810 for Thomas Berry (Sr) (50 acres), Thomas Berry, Jr. (100 acres) and John Robinson (53-3/4 acres) indicate all lived in the Hancock Creek area.

Benjamin must be . . . (remember he m'd the widow of Hezekiah Ellis [see above or the notes on Bejamin] "He was married, probably about 1778 or 1779, to Mildred Ellis, the widow of Hezekiah Ellis, and daughter of Thomas Burbridge of Spotsylvania County.") "— In 1850 John M. Robinson was licensed to preach the gospel. In 1852 written license was given to him, that he might attend the Theological school at Covington. In 1854 he was ordained to the ministry by Elders Dillard, Allen, Pratt, and Gentry. Brother Robinson is now laboring in Missouri. — In 1855 license was issued to J. B. Tharp to exercise his gift, and in October of the same year he was ordained by Elders Lynd, Pratt, Link, and Dillard. Mr. Tharp still lives in Elkhorn Association, and is well known to all the churches. — In 1873 Mr. J. K. Nunnelley was ordained, at the request of the Sharpsburg Baptist Church, by Elders J. L. Smith, Woolfolk, Dobbs, Freeman, Harris, and Stansberry.* Brother Nunnelley still labors acceptably for the Sharpsburg church. In 1874 Alexander Fleet, who joined the church by letter from Virginia, was licensed to preach. He is a pious, sensible, well-educated young man; and we trust the Lord may open to him a door of great usefulness.* "Deacons. — The following persons have served the church in the responsible office of Deacon: The first deacons were Benjamin Robinson -------------------------------- " * Mr. Dudley, the pastor, was in the South.

In 1822 Hezekiah Ellis was set apart to fill the place of Thomas Ellis, who was thrown from a horse and killed. In 1828, James Weathers was elected to fill the vacancy caused by the death of "old father" Welch. In 1835, Boswell Mitchell was elected to fill the place of A. Wilson deceased. In 1838 the church elected two deacons; one to fill the place of Boswell Mitchell removed, and one in addition. G. W. Darnaby and Enoch Bryan were elected. In 1849 T. M. Wilson and Martin Coons were elected deacons to fill the vacancies caused by the death of E. Darnaby and James Weathers. In 1857, J. H. Darnaby and Caswell Weathers were elected to fill the places vacated by the death of M. Coons and H. Ellis. In 1863, James A, Darnaby was elected to fill the place of Enoch Bryan deceased. In 1865, D. T. Carr was received by letter from East Hickman church. Brother Carr had served Hickman church as deacon and moderator; and at the same meeting that he was received in David's Fork, he was added to the list of deacons. In 1873, A. M.
