(1891) CHARLES ROBINSON, a well-to-do farmer of Yolo County, dates his birth December 15, 1852, in Missouri. His father, Daniel Robinson, was born May 12, 1827, in Allegany County, New York, and his mother February 1, 1829, in Lincoln County, Missouri; they were married in that State in 1849, and in 1857 started with ox teams across the plains for California, the captain of their train being Frank Perkins. On arriving in California they first stopped on Mr. Perkins' place until the ensuing spring, when they located on the place where they now reside, and which contains 480 acres of well improved good land. The father died in 1877, and the widowed mother is passing the remainder of her life at the place described.
