Biography
John Robertson was born circa 1740 in Botetourt County, Virginia. He was the son of Joseph Robertson, (from Colerain, Ireland) John's father Joseph immigrated to America when he was a teenager in 1737, together with his parents, James Robertson Sr. and his wife Easter Unknown (although some people claim her name was Rebecca Royston). [1]
Marriage
John married Margaret King circa 1768. She was a sister to Robert King, who married one of John's sisters.
Children
John and Margaret had nine children:
- Thomas Robertson (born November 10, 1769) who married Elizabeth Wallace.
- John Robertson (born 1770) who married a woman whose first name was Sarah.
- Henry Robertson (born 1771).
- Easter Rachel (Robertson) Blair (bef.1787-1840) Born 1772
- Rebecca Robertson (born 1776) who married Samuel Maggard.
- Joseph Robertson (born 1778).
- Mary Robertson (born 1779) who married James Henry Dykes.
- Catherine (Robertson) Back (1780-1858)
- Susannah Robertson (born 1787) who married John Netherland Dykes.
Circa 1775, John and his family left Virginia and headed for the Carter's Valley Settlement, located just east of the Clinch River in what is now the far northern part of Hawkins County, Tennessee. It is near the present-day city of Kingsport. Many Scotch-Irish people settled there. Their five youngest children (Rebecca, Joseph, Mary, Catherine, and Susannah) were born there, in what later became Hawkins County, Tennessee.
Death
John died 1805 (aged 64–65) in Hawkins County, Tennessee. Burial details unknown. [2]
