Hamlet Robinson is a native of Daviess County, Indiana, where he was born July 11, 1846,
son of Elijah and Lucretia (Sanford) Robinson. He grew to manhood on the farm and in
early childhood removed with his parents to Harrison Township, and attended the public
schools. After attaining his majority he began working for himself, and has always
followed the life of a farmer with the exception of four years. He settled on his present
farm in 1872. He owns 161 acres of good and well-improved land. He has a fine residence
and a good barn. In 1868, he married Adelia A. Young, a native of the county, born in
1850. They have seven children as follows: Edwin, Flora, Ephraim, Stella, Frank, Amy M.
and John. Prior to 1876, Mr. Robinson was a Republican, but since that time he has been a
true and ardent worked of the National party, and was one of the first men in the county
to advocate the principles and doctrines of that party. He and wife are members of the
Cumberland Presbyt!
erian Church, and he is, in every sense of the word, a self-made man, and one of the best
known and prominent citizens of the township.
