robinsonpd on “Looking for Joseph Robinson”
I know that Joseph Robinson was born in NC but not sure where. Maybe Warren Co.
Birth Date: 15-Jan-1796
Death: 16-Apr-1864
At some point he married Urania Robinson, also from NC, and later they moved to Hardin, Tennessee. Even later they moved to the Vandalia, IL area.
He is my great, great grandfather but I haven’t been able to find any other info about him (parents, etc). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
