W. H. ROBINSON

    W. H. Robinson, a farmer, a descendant of pioneer stock, and a son of Samuel, a native of York County, Penn., who migrating to the West, purchased 400 acres of land on the banks of the Big Darby.  In 1806, he removed to Franklin County, where he was married to Miss Martha Hunter. Subsequently he returned to this county and settled on his purchase, where he reared a family and died.  He was an expert with the broad ax, and hewed out the coffin that contained the remains of-Samuel McCullough, the first person buried in the Mitchell Cemetery in Darby Township.  He was a good scholar and adherent of temperance, and one of the first organizers of the associate Presbyterian Church, and a man established in the hearts of all who knew him.  The subject of this sketch was born on the homestead January 14, 1822.  His farm embraces 160 acres of the original farm.  He was married in January 1850, in Jerome Township, to Miss Elizabeth McCampbell, a sister of J. T. McCampbell, and a native of this county.  Six children born to this union are all living, viz.: James C., Mary J, wife of W. McDowell; Rosa, wife of John Robinson; Elinor, Frank and Mertie.  The family are connected with the United Presbyterian Church of Unionville, and among the oldest and respected families of the county.
