I was looking for info on Emma Calhoun Robinson b 1848 in GA, married John Adam Brandon in
Palestine Anderson Co TX in 1874 and settled first in Coryell County then in Wortham, TX.
Her mother was supposedly Sarah Francis Calhoun, who was related to John C Calhoun. The
Calhoun name comes up alot and I dont know how we are related at all.
I have been able, after 10 years of searching, to find that Emma's parents were Dr
William C Robinson of Jasper/Newton Co GA and Sarah Francis Morgan Robinson (widowed
1858)then Morris 1859.
Sarah may have been married before she married Dr Robinson as Sarah F Morgan, but since
she was abt 18 at the time we believe her maiden name was probably Morgan. Sarah was born
1830 in GA and died in 1869 in Morehead Parrish Louisiana.
I am always looking for other possible Calhoun/Robinsons in Texas abt 1875 to see if
anyone else knows this story or has any idea how Emma and her siblings Mary Robinson ____?
and Walter John Robinson had any connection to the Calhoun family. It could be that the
kids came to Texas around 1869-1872 to live with Calhoun family relatives?
I am looking for any connections to any of the siblings or descendants. Thanks,
Diane
