Thank you so much! I am so excited to see this! But here is the
problem.
According to my census records from 1859, 1860 and mortality schedule from
1870, my Sarah F Calhoun was born in 1830 GA and died in 1869 La. This
sure seems to be my person, except the dates are off slightly.
How do we know this Sarah Calhoun married a Walter J Robinson? Are there
any sources or docs anywhere with this?
Do you know where she married Walter Robinson or what his occ was? I am so
excited...how do I get original proof docs to help prove this possibly
wonderful news!?? I dont have anything on Sarah or Mr Robinson (Roberson,
Robison, whatever) before 1859 when she married Dr Morris in Montgomery,
AL.
Here is what I have for Sarah F (Calhoun) Robinson Morris.
Her children by Mr Robinson were born supposedly in GA in mid 1850s. She
came back to LA after the death of Mr Robinson or at least after their
split (no death records found yet). Her new husband Dr. Allen Morris was
born in North Carolina in 1821.
They were wed in Montgomery Al, presumably on their way out of GA back to
LA in 1859. The family lived in several places, including Winn Parish in
central LA and Morehouse Parish in Northern LA. The son Walter John
Robinson b1857 in GA is not living with them after 1869, and is found
living with his sister Emma in Texas after 1880.

MORRIS, James, 10, m, 2, at home, Louisiana
MORRIS, Sarah, 7, f, w, at home, Louisiana
*Note Walter John Robinson is not listed in this census. He would have been
13 years old (b july 1857.) He appears again in TX from 1880 forward. I
have marriage & descendant info. Allen Morris is probably "Dr. A.P".
Morris, the second husband and widower of Sarah, and father to the Morris
children listed next door in 1870.
By 1880 all Robinson children and Morrises are in Texas (except possibly
Mary Robinson who we have no further info on at this time. We do not
know her wedding or death information or if she married in LA or came to
Texas.)
IMPLICATIONS ARE THAT:
Sarah F. Robinson Morris, born 1830 in Georgia. Family believes maiden name
is Calhoun, and daughter Emma's middle name is Calhoun.
Sarah F Calhoun Robinson Morris, middle name was Frances, may have gone by
Frannie or Fannie.
Second (or even possibly third husband) Allen P Morris aka Dr A.P. Morris
was born in NC in late 1821-before June 1822.
A.P. Morris supposedly met Sarah F Calhoun Robinson in Georgia where he was
business partners with her husband Dr or Mr. Robinson.
Dr or Mr Robinson would have been deceased (or left somehow) between
1857-1860.
Dr. A.P. Morris claims to be a physician when they are married in 1859 in
Montgomery AL, presumably on their way from GA and to LA.
Dr. A. P. Morris is also listed as a Dr in Louisiana in US census in 1860.
Dr and Mrs Morris and kids evidently moved north between 1860 in Winn
Parish LA and 1870 to Morehouse Parish LA.
Known children include:
Mary Robinson born 1850 in GA (unknown marriage or death info, may have
gone by Minnie.)
Emma Robinson born 1852 (1851 actually) in GA, have full decendant info.
Walter John Robinson born 1857 (July) in GA, have full descendant info as
far as we know.
And, children by second husband Dr Morris:
James O Morris born in LA --lived in Texas after 1875
Sarah F Morris born in LA ---daughter Sarah F Morris may have gone by the
name "Fannie" and lived in TX after 1875.
Sarah F Calhoun Robinson Morris is deceased in Oct of 1869 in Winn Parish
LA.
Thanks so much. I will gladly do the legwork if someone can help point me
in direction of original sources.
