Also, would anyone know where the best place to research in Richmond, Virginia? I will only be there a short time and need all the help I can get. I've looked many years for the parents of Tamsey Jane ROBERTSON/ROBERSON/ ROBINSON. Her obit said she was born in Bedford Co. VA abt 1824/27. She was married in 1840 in Lewis Co. Missouri to Joseph Van Cleve. If anyone can give me any direction I would be very appreciative. Thanks. Ardis McLeod _________ >> Hello, Ardis - Chances are that your Tamsey Jane is kin to our ROBINSONs of Bedford Co, VA. I found one connection to a VAN CLEVE family that intermarried with our ROBINSON line (to a MILLER) and was in MO. Here is a short, 3 generation outline that shows this connection. I have more on the earlier ROBINSONs. This line is a lateral line to my own line. My Thomas G ROBINSON, who moved to Meade Co, KY, is a brother of William. Let me know if I can help any other way.
