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.

Samuel Alexander Jones was born in 1777 in NC to Hannah and ? Jones. I am trying to find his father’s name to continue my research. Samuel had a sister named Mary Polly born in NC in 1779. Samuel later moved to Lincoln County Tennessee to raise his family.

Donald:

I found 2 mentions of Rich Family cemeteries in the western part of NC:

Feature Name St County Type Latitude Longitude 7.5′ x 7.5′ Map

Rich Cemetery NC Buncombe cemete 353553N 0823721W Asheville
Rich Cemetery NC Caldwell cemete 360032N 0814253W Globe

and this:

I noticed 2 obits for people buried in a Rich family cemetery. Services for both were conducted at the Hudson Church of God and Pendry’s funeral home was the funeral home. Hudson Church of God has a website (http://www.hudsoncog.com/) with an email for the pastor. Don’t know if you’d want to email him and see if he knew where the cemetery was located or had contact information for it. Pendry’s funeral home might be another option.
(Ira Coffey burial: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gsr&GScid=2154717)
(Floyd Philyaw burial: http://coffeycousins.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html)

There is also a Rich family cemetery in Wake County, NC (http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gsr&GScid=2154717).

pal on “MAPLE GROVE CEMETERY LOCATION”

Flanative:

There are several Maple Grove cemeteries in NC. You are probably looking for the one in Haywood County.
http://files.usgwarchives.net/nc/haywood/cemeteries/mapgrv01.txt

Or

http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=csr&CScn=Maple+Grove&CScntry=4&CSst=29&CScnty=0

If you click on the # of interments, you can see the names that people have added.

Another option (if you are looking for a certain person), you can go to

http://cemeterycensus.com/nc/

and type in the name in the search box. You do have to put quotation marks around the name. If it is only a last name (e.g. Doe), then enter:

“Doe, *”

The wildcard * will pull all the entries with that last name.

Hope this helps.
