Sons of Jabez Robinson
Bainbridge Republican, Sept. 12, 1874
Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]: On Saturday last we had the pleasure of meeting in our village, the surviving sons of the late Jabez Robinson, who was Sheriff on this county, during the term commencing in 1834. There were four of them, viz: Luke M. Robinson, of Oxford; John M. Robinson of Jackson, Mississippi; Rev. James A. Robinson, of Jamestown, N.Y., formerly of Bainbridge; and Charles L. Robinson, of Bolton, Miss. Their visit was a welcome one to their many friends and acquaintances, all of whom have pleasant recollections of the boys when they resided here. The second son, John W., removed from Oxford to Jackson in 1846, and Charles to Bolton, in 1860. The latter was born in the jail residence in this village, while occupied by his father as Sheriff. Though these have been so long in the south, we are glad to know they do not sympathize with the disastrous persecutions inflicted upon later emigrants; and upon the recently enfranchised. All these brothers are in their manhood, what their youth gave promise of, honest, upright, conscientious citizens, who each bear their part successfully in the drama of life. We hope their reunions may be oft repeated.--Telegraph, 3d inst.
