Message Board Post:
This is an old posting, so perhaps you've found this information already, but I have
some information on this family that I've found while looking into Robinsons in Clark
Co., Indiana. Robinsons are so difficult to sort out that I thought I might help with what
I can.
Margaret Robinson's parents were Jacob and Jane (Davis) Robinson, married in Clark
Co., Indiana in 1820. They are listed there in Charlestown Tp. in the 1820 census. They
next show up in the 1840 Jackson Co., Indiana census. Jacob died in the late 1840's,
but his widow Jane and her younger children are listed in Washington Tp., Jackson Co. in
1850, living quite near her married daughter Margaret McConnell. Margaret's younger
brother James married Sarah McConnell and is also living nearby in 1850, with his family
and a younger brother William. This whole extended family moved together to St. Clair Co.,
Missouri, where they appear in the 1860 census.
I think Jacob Robinson's father was the William Robinson listed in the 1820 Clark Co.
census, living in Charlestown Tp. I have an educated guess about Jacob's brothers and
sisters. Let me know if you would like more information, or if you have any information
that can supplement (or correct) what I've given here.
