      Breif History

Ellis Yancy Roberson and Minerva Dulcinea Gregory made their home on Walnut 
creek in Madison County North Carolina. They had twelve children. In 1906, 
Ellis and Minerva moved their family to Spartanburg County South Carolina. The 
family lived at Glendale community, Spartan Mill, Inman Mill, and Arcadia. 

Lillie died in 1912 and In july of 1915, Ellis died of Pellagra. In 1917, 
Williard was killed while on guard duty on local railroad tracks. Ellis and 
Willard are buried next to one another in Arcadia Cemetery.

After Willards death, Minerva moved to McDowell county North Carolina. Here 
she purchased 600 acres of farm land.  In October of 1920, Minerva married 
C.Shuff Baily. After his death in 1936, Minerva started using the Roberson
family name again. In March of 1956, Minerva moved to Greenville county South 
Carolina to live with her grandson Maxie Thomas Robinson(my family). It was 
here that she died in April of 1956. 

The spelling of the last name in the family bible is "ROBERSON". The spelling 
on Ellis Yancy's and Willard's grave is "ROBERSON". It is not known when the 
spelling was changed to "ROBINSON". 

Son's Howard, Burgin, THomas Columbus, John, and Sam spelled and pronounced 
the name "ROBINSON".

Thomas Columbus was my grandfather.

Minerva's burial site is Cross Hill Cemetery, Marion North Carolina, McDowell 
county. She is buried next to her son Thomas Columbus Robinson. The marker on 
her grave has her last name spelled "Robinson".
