I found an abstract of a will of Joseph ROBERTSON at the Brown Co Public Library this
week. Will recorded April 1839. Abstract does not name wife or daughters, but mentions
sons Joseph and Mitchell, granddaughter Rebecca, and grandson James SHELTON "which I
raised," a quote from will. 1840 census shows hohs Susannah ROBERTSON and Winna
ROBERTSON; a little research reveals that Winna is believed to be the wife of Stephen
ROBERTSON, so I'm guessing that Susannah was the widow of Joseph. Robert ROBERTSON
lives near Susannah, not near Winna in 1840. LDS records show a Joseph ROBERTSON m
Susannah JOHNSON 1795 Madison Co. KY, which might fit, but needs investigating. I'm
tracking James SHELTON's pedigree, and would appreciate any information that you have
about these ROBERTSONs, especially a ROBERTSON daughter who married a SHELTON prior to
1817 in TN--which is when and where James was born.
