Believe I am connected to ROBINSONs of Carmi; would appreciate
help
proving it. My father Herbert Hamilton ROBINSON was born in
California
in 1908, son of Herbert Dixon ROBINSON and Grace HAMILTON.
Herbert D.
was a mining engineer and apparently the proverbial black sheep
of his
family, but he did tell his children that the town of Robinson,
IL was
named for his family and it is my understanding that those
Robinsons came
from Carmi. Anyway...at the time of the Chicago Fair, my dad
Herbert H.
hitched a freight and came to IL. He managed to get a little
info. from
g'pa Herbert D. It's all that I have to work with. Herbert
Dixon
Robinson's parents were Peyton Dixon Robinson and Malisie (?).
Others
mentioned were Huston S. Robinson, said to be sheriff in
Springfield,
Napolian Robinson, son of Huston, William Peyton Robinson, said
to be a
farmer,perhaps from Flora, Ora Robinson, daughter of William P..
Also
listed are some PRESLEYs. Brice and Wash Presley are listed as
uncles
and Allen Presley as cousin; they might have been around Flora
also.
Don't know if Grandmother Malisie was a Presley or what. My
father
hooked up with another young vagabond and never looked up his
kin. He
died in 1952 and I have only the handwritten note he carried to
IL and
back to CA to work from. Would really appreciate any thoughts
you might
have to share. Thanks for reading all of this.</B>

I'm looking for the family of Martha A Thomas, born about 1861
in Ohio and moved with her family to Hamilton Co sometime in
the 1860's. Some of her brother's names were John, Joseph,
Ruben, and Cornelius. Their parents were A.J.'Jack' Thomas and
Elisabeth Angel. Martha married Samuel R Bond in 1882. I'm
wondering if any other Thomas's have researched this Thomas
family at all, and where in Ohio they came from.</B>
