I have just found a census record for part of a family I have been searching endlessly for! I hope someone can help me find out more about ROBINSONS in Louisiana.
The census record I found is:
1870 US Federal Census page 27, Ward No Seven, County Morehouse, Post Office of Bastrop, State of Louisiana
Enumerated 2 August 1870.
family line 221 there is an Allen Morris, age 49 W M Farmer --- may or may not be related in any way
family line 222: Robinson, Mary age 20 F W, at home, born in Georgia
Robinson Emma age 18 F W at home born in GA
Morris, James age 10 M W at home born in LA
Morris, Sarah age 7 F W at home born in LA
This fits perfectly with my family story about Walter & Sarah Robinson born GA having kids Mary, Emma, & Walter John.
My family story is that Walter Sr dies around mid to end of Civil War and Sarah remarried Morris, maybe James Morris and they spend all Robinson money,lose the house due to war, and move to LA.
They have kids Jimmie and Fannie Morris in Louisiana. They are rotten parents for whatever reason and Mr Morris is mean to Robinson kids, so the kids leave for parts west. The Robinson kids supposedly went to live with family friends in late 1860s named Dulaney. Emma and her younger brother Walter b1857 ending up in Texas by 1880. The birth years for Mary and Emma fit my story, a well as birth years for Morris kids.
I have not been able to find these people AT ALL SO FAR. This is the earliest I have any Robinson kids. Even so,the brother Walter John Robinson, born 1857 is missing, as well as parents/step-parents Sarah and (James?) Morris.
I have stories that Walter Robinson senior was a doctor or medic, and Mr or Dr Morris was his business partner who wooed his widow. Walter Robinson supposedly died before or near the end of Civil War, maybe in GA.
Does anybody have anything at all on these people? Anything they have heard or that I could further research?
I am really looking to find what happened to May Robinson, and to find out how long they were in LA.
Please help or forward contact info.
Thanks so very much--
Diane
