ALBERT C. ROBINSON, merchant and farmer, Carrollton, Carroll Co., GA., 
son of John W. and Mary M. (Burrow) Robinson, was born in 1856. His 
grandfather, John Robinson, was a native of Virginia, whence he removed to 
North Carolina, and subsequently to Georgia and settled in the woods in 
Carroll County; near where the subject of this sketch now lives. Mr. 
Robinson's father was born in North Carolina in 1827 and came with his parents 
to Georgia when a small boy. His mother was a daughter of William and Eliza 
(Bradbury) Burrow who were among the earliest settlers in that part of the 
State. His father enlisted in 1861 and remained in the service until the 
surrender.  Mr. Robinson was reared on the farm and in consequence of the war, 
which was at its fiercest when he was of school age, his education was 
limited. But he was endowed with pluck and perseverance, and enterprise and 
energy, and was also possessed of a
thorough-going disposition, which have told wonderfully on his prosperity. He 
first began business at Shiloh, but last year he removed his business to his 
farm near that place. When he was married he was not worth a dollar; now he 
has a fine, large farm and is doing a large and increasing mercantile 
business. Mr. Robinson was married in 1879 to Miss Mary M. Arthur, daughter of 
Kabus and Ann (Barnes) Arthur, who were among the earliest settlers of Marion 
county, Ga. Mr. Arthur lost his life during the late war. Seven children have 
blessed this union: Emory C., William M., Zella V., Luther L., Verdie E., 
Lizzie M. and Minnie Pearl. Mr. and Mrs. Robinson are members of the M. E. 
church. He is one of the rising young men of Carroll county with a bright 
future
