Biography

Winfield was born about 1848 in Virginia. He is the son of Moses Robinette and Jane Humphrey.

Research Notes

I, Vic Watt, believe that he is the Winfield Scott Robinette, who was born in Evansville, West Virginia, and died in Newark, Licking County, Ohio, on April 12, 1926.^[1] Unfortunately, his Death Certificate does not give the names of his parents, but he did name a daughter Allice, which fits with the Moses Robinett family.
