[Nicholas County]  [Carlisle City and Precinct]

B. H. ROBINSON, County Attorney, P. O. Carlisle, a native of Carlisle, and
son of James R. Robinson, who died in Georgia in 1876, to which place he
had gone with stock, having been engaged in that capacity through the
South for over thirty years.  He was a son of William Robinson, a native
of Maryland, but who settled in Pendleton County, Ky., at an early date;
there the father of our subject was born in 1809.  His early life was
spent in Lexington, serving an apprenticeship and working at the trade of
carding.  He subsequently engaged in trading, in which he suffered heavy
losses during the war.  His wife was Adeline Hughs, a native of Nicholas
County, and daughter of Jesse Hughs; she a sister to J. M. Hughs of Paris.
They had nine children: Thomas (deceased), Mary J., wife of David Hughs
of St. Joseph, Mo., Carrie Lou, Georgia (deceased), wife of Capt. John H.
Seeley of the Federal army, Robert H., of Carlisle, Aggie, wife of Dr.
X. M. Sayre of Lexington, B. H., and Eva.  The subject of this sketch
received the advantages of the Carlisle schools, with a short time at
Hanover College.  In 1873, at twenty-one years of age, he began the study
of law with Judge Thomas F. Hargis and J. P. Norvell.  He was admitted
to the practice of his chosen profession in September 1875.  By the
death of his father soon after, and leaving the family in destitute
circumstances, he engaged in teaching, that he might obtain subsistence
for himself, unmarried sisters and deceased sisters' children.  In April,
1878, he received the nomination for County Attorney, at the Democratic
primary convention, held in that month, and was elected to the office
the following August.  In October of the same year, he was elected to the
office of School Commissioner for two years, and at the expiration of the
terms of each office he was re-elected, the people of the county showing
in that an appreciation of his talents, which may in the future be of
valuable service to the people of his County and State.
