   S. G. ROBINSON, farmer and stock raiser, P. 0. McComb, was born in Erie
County, N. Y., May 29, 1839, son of B. E. and Sarah (Gail) Robinson, the former
a farmer and a native of Fairfield County, Ohio, of Irish descent; the latter a
native of Erie County, N. Y., of English descent. Of their six children five are
still living, the subject of this sketch being the eldest. S. G. Robinson was
reared on the farm in Erie County, N. Y., until seven years of age; next lived
on a farm in Franklin County, Ohio, until he was twenty years old; then came to
this county, where he has since continued to reside. He walked the entire
distance from Franklin County, Ohio, to this county, and when he arrived here he
was a poor boy with only one suit of clothes and no money, but he was willing to
labor. He worked out at 50 cents per day, clearing land and chopping wood; also
worked by the month until he was able to buy eighty acres of wild land, which he
cleared, and on which he still resides. In 1859 Mr. Robinson was united in
marriage with Mary, daughter of Enoch Haddox, a native of Virginia. Five
children blessed this union: Edgar, Estella, Ida, Samuel and Everett. Mrs.
Robinson departed this life in 1875; she was a member of the Methodist Church.
S. G. Robinson is at present the owner of 200 acres of well improved land. In
politics he is a Republican. He was a delegate to the first Republican
convention, in 1856. He has been school director for twelve years, and in 1884
was elected justice of the peace.
