YOU ARE A DOLL CLARISSA. THE JOHN LAMAR WILL WAS VERY HELPFUL. JEFFERSON,
MIMA & BETSY WERE HITS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

I REALLY DIDN'T KNOW WHERE TO START, AS FAR AS WHICH LAMAR WILL TO OBTAIN
FIRST, SINCE WE'RE TALKING DOLLARS HERE. AND YES I HAVE ACCESS TO THE
AUTAUGA COUNTY WEB SITE ON THESE MATTERS, AND (SO FAR) 11 OF THE 28 LISTED
ARE RELATED TO ME (BAMA LAMAR, BEN LAMAR(WWI), JAMES OTIS LAMAR, JOE LAMAR,
JULIUS LAMAR, LOTTIE LAMAR, REOMA LAMAR, SAMMIE LEE LAMAR, WARREN LAMAR JR.
(WWII), WARREN LAMAR SR.(WWI), AND WILLIAM H. LAMAR(VIETNAM). IN THE
MARRIAGE LIST, 6 (SO FAR) OUT OF THE 57 LISTED ARE RELATED (EMMA LAMAR,
EPRAM LAMAR, JANE LAMAR, LEWIS LAMAR, LUGENIA LAMAR, & SALLIE LAMAR).

I DON'T RECOGNIZE THE NAMES UNDER JAMES ROBINSON'S PLANTATION. I YOU CAN
FIND THE FILE OF TODD ROBINSON, IT'LL BE DEEPLY APPRECIATED, OR I CAN
PROBABLY ORDER IT. I FIGURE MY GRANDMOTHER'S PEOPLE (THE ROBINSONS) HAD TO
HAVE COME FROM ONE OF THEM. AGAIN, EPHRAIM LAMAR'S GRANDMOTHER WAS A
HANNAH ROBINSON. SHE WAS 95 YEARS OLD IN THE 1880 AUTAUGA COUNTY CENSUS.

Have you checked the Autauga County website at
http://www.rootsweb.com/~alautaug/. Marriage and cemetery information
listed might be helpful to you.

I had the following information in my files - it might be helpful.
slaves listed in James Robinson will: Bob (about 57 yrs old); Joe (~50
yrs); Will (~43 yrs old); Betsy (~23 yrs old); Aaron (~16); Grace (~2);
Jenny (~54); Alsey (~18) and her child Boling; Elvey (16); Pompy (70 yrs);
Peggy (60); Caroline (12) and Isaac (29).

I have somewhere here a will for Todd Robinson, but must have misfiled it.

>From John Lamar's will (date approximately 1857), the following names that
you mentioned are listed: Jefferson, Wesley, Mima, Betsy and Kitty (40) and

Kitty (2).
