  C. T. ROBINSON was born in Huntsville, Ala., in 1849, and is a son of William
and Caroline P. (Moore) Robinson, of Scotch-Irish descent. The father was a
native of Virginia, and one of the earliest settlers of Huntsville, where he
resided until his death. He was a speculator and farmer, and had large landed
interests in North and South Alabama and Mississippi, besides 450 slaves. His
mother was born in Alabama. Of their five children but three are now living,
viz.: Fannie, wife of Doctor Ridley: Mary, wife of A. R. Burritt, and C. T., the
subject of our sketch, who was reared and educated in Huntsville. In 1868 he
went to Pulaski, Tenn., where he formed a partnership with T. W. McLean and C.
L. Ridley, in what was at first a private, but afterward a national bank. They
conducted this business three years, when Mr. Robinson began farming near
Pulaski, which he has continued since. In the winter of 1887 he was associated
with P. H. Flynn, in organizing the Decatur Mineral & Land Company, and is still
a stockholder and director in it. He was master of the Giles County (Tenn.)
Grange, and took an active part in the proceedings of that body.

  Mr. Robinson was married in May, 1878, to Miss Madora Reynolds, of Tennessee,
and they have three children—Carrie, Minnie and Lola. Mrs. Robinson is a
Presbyterian.

  William Robinson, our subject's father, was a captain in the Seminole War in
Florida. He was a man of commanding presence, and measured six feet, four inches
in his stocking feet.
