General Notes: Husband - Dr. Thomas Chalmers Robinson

---

When he was twelve years old, his father moved to a farm in Patton township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. The classical education of the future physician was completed in Franklin College, New Athens, Ohio, and after reading medicine with Dr. James H. Duff he entered Jefferson Medical College, at Philadelphia, from which he graduated in 1868, and at once became the successor in practice of his former preceptor, Dr. Duff. Four years later he moved to Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania, where he developed a successful practice. The doctor possessed some fine property, which includes two dwellings. He was a member of the county medical society and, with his family, of the P. Church. Politically he was a republican, but later became a prohibitionist.

He enlisted, in 1862, in Company E, 123d P. V., and took part in the battles of Antietam, Chancellorsville and Fredericksburg. At the close of his term of enlistment, nine months, he remained at home for a short time, then entered the 15th Pennsylvania Cavalry, known as the Anderson Troop, with which he served in the Army of the South, being active in the battles of Nashville, Chickamauga and Knoxville. He was one of 120 that captured 1,500 of Hood's men, destroyed their arms and marched them into Huntsville. After sharing in Sherman's raid and destroying railroads to prevent Lee's retreat from Richmond, they were sent to pursue Jeff Davis and other refugees, and spent three months in the mountain regions of Tennessee, the Carolinas and Georgia, living off the country as they traveled, and were discharged at Nashville, in June, 1865.
