8. | James ROBERTSON was born Abt 1771, Chesterfield, Virgina (son of James ROBERTSON and FNU (first name unknown) LNU (last name unknown)); died Abt 1853, Brown, Texas ?. Notes: 1820 US Census in Stokes, North Carolina as 'Robinson' with 4 persons, ages are correct for James and Anna Mabe James married Sarah Agnes BURTON 4 Dec 1828 See 'Marriage Bond' below, Stokes Co., North Carolina. Sarah was born Abt 1810, Stokes, North Carolina; died 1837, Stokes, North Carolina. [Group Sheet] |
9. | Sarah Agnes BURTON was born Abt 1810, Stokes, North Carolina; died 1837, Stokes, North Carolina. Notes: Our Robison 'family lore' holds that James and Sarah died, and the children were parceled out to be raised by relatives. We did find their four children in the 1850 US Census living with four different families, including Robert, our ancestor, living with Sarah Burton's uncle Robert Burton and his wife Lucy. And while James Robertson had clearly not died, the fact that Robert's son John wrote "Deceased was orphaned at the age of four" on Robert's death certificate leads us to conclude that Sarah Burton died in 1837, the same year James promised to marry Ruth Young. So no time for mourning.
