General Notes: Husband - [Father] Robinson


This family was located in Enniskillen, County Fermanagh, Ireland, to which country the ancestors emigrated from Scotland. There were five children, three boys and two girls. The son William lived in England, the son Irvin came to America and settled in Indiana County, Pennsylvania, the son John and two sisters came to Baltimore, Maryland, and settled there.
John visited his brother in Indiana County once, but owing to the newness of the country and difficulty in getting to the post office, the nearest one being at Armagh, eight miles away, over a trail through a wilderness infested with wild beasts, wolves, panthers, wildcats, etc., Mrs. Robinson was afraid to let her sons go to the post office very often, all intercourse and writing stopped and the connection was lost.
