Birth:
* * * * Note * * * *
I have seen Wise County, Virginia but that county was not formed until much later in 1856. Solomon's Civil War service record states that he was born in Perry County, Kentucky and the state of Kentucky is listed repeatedly in census records without a single instance of Virginia being recorded as a place of birth.

Other Events:

• Residence: 3 Aug 1850, Breathitt County, Kentucky

Notes:

Name:
Some sources say Robinson. The family seems to come from TN and VA before that. If the family name is traced back to Virginia, it may well belong to the Robinson family beginning with Christopher Robinson who, in the 1660s, settled around Urbanna in Middlesex County. This potential association is only early speculation.

Birth:
Catherine's death record does not name her parents but does list her birth place as Tennessee.

This area became a part of Tennessee when it gained statehood in 1796.

Notes:

1/25/2011 - Marriage place is speculation based on Internet data suggesting that John and Catharine moved to KY in 1836. Marriage could have taken place in TN or VA, among other places.
