Research Notes

Rootsweb tree says six children of a Joel Robinson, would move to Arkansas by the Civil War.

The sibling relationship between John R and Permelia is established because Permelia actually lived with John R. Robinson in 1870 and then John's widow in the 1880 Census. Rachel and Joel's relationship to John R. and Permelia needs to be established, beyond this Rootsweb tree.

See comments on Joel Robinson for concerns about the sources to establish the relationships of these children (who include Carroll Robinson and Joel Pointer Robinson) to a possible father.
