Robbinsville is basically at the intersection of US 82 and CR 2106 (county road) that runs north to Bagwell This put it about 1/4 mile east of where Ward Creek run into Scatter. It is not certain to me the pin point location. I feel certain that Scatter Creek (or Ward) was their water supply. Just east of the intersection at 82 about 1/4 mile is a road side park, maybe this was the actually location. However, I have found what remains of a couple of grave marker, up CR 2106 about 1/4 to 1/2 mile, on your left (west side) about 100 feet before you reach a corral and about 50 to 80 feet from the fence in the pasture. This land is owned by ______Somerville and his wife Connie. The remains are only a base ( with a slot in it) that held the slab type marker. All the markers were carried about some years back (maybe 80). These remains is all of Robbinsville that is left that I know anything of. William Becknell is buried in a pasture about 200 feet south of US 82, about a mile or so east of the mentioned road side park. Some have referred to this cemetery as the Robbinsville Cemetery, but that is not where Robbinsville was. When the railroad came in about 2 miles north of Robbinsville, it was only a short time until the community moved to the railroad and became Bagwell. FYI: up north on the Ward Creek, Cool Creek from Bagwell runs into it. Also, Robbinsville will be about 7 miles west of Clarksville on 82.

My mother told me that the roadside park on Hwy 82 was in just about the exact location of the old Robbinsville School. All the old timers called that general area Robbinsville, but there is nothing left. I remember when there were lots of houses there. There are none now.

> Could that be 82 and CR2142 instead? > No, on the map it says 2106. The numbers have happened in recent years. There was an old dirt road just a little bit south of where 82 is now. I was told that was once where the old stagecoach route ran. As far as I know the road has totally disappeared. Cynthia
