Hello ROBINSON cousins - A few years ago, while trying to figure out my
ROBINSON lineage I got so grustrated that I delved into the VA records gung ho
and tried to find Judith Ann's parents from the top. I didn't find them then,
but I did follow down Christopher Robinson's line to see where it went. I
still have it. Hope this helps someone.

By the way, Judith Anne-'s parents are Thomas G ROBINSON and Lucy Stith
MOORMAN. I am still trying to find sufficient proof of Thomas G's lineage to
the VA ROBINSONs.
