I've "rescued" an old photograph of George ROBINSON which was taken at the
Wrights Studio in Terre Haute, Indiana. The photograph appears to have been
taken in the 1880's with George likely in his 20's at the time. Based on
limited research I believe that this may be a photograph of George ROBINSON
who was the son of Henry & Anna ROBINSON who were living in Terre Haute, IN
during the 1870 census.



Census records for the family are as follows:



1870 census of Terre Haute, IN:



Henry ROBINSON, age 43, born NY

Anna ROBINSON, age 41, born PA, Keeping House

John ROBINSON, age 19, born NY, at Home

Almira ROBINSON, age 13, born IN, at Home

George ROBINSON, age 10, born IN, at Home

Frank ROBINSON, age 8, born IN

Tillie ROBINSON, age 6, born IN

William ROBINSON, age 4, born IN

Charles ROBINSON, age 6 months, born IN

Phebe CENARD, age 43, born OH, a Domestic Servant



In 1900 the family was still living in Terre Haute, IN with census
information as follows:



Henry ROBINSON, age 72, born July 1827, married 41 years, born NY, parents
born NY, a Wholesaler

Anna ROBINSON, wife, age 70, born Aug 1829, married 41 years, 9 children/5
living, born NY, parents born NY

William A. ROBINSON, son, age 32, born Sept 1867, born IN, a Traveling
Salesman

Almira HOLMES, step-dau, age 44, born Apr 1856, born IN, parents born NY



George ROBINSON was also included in the 1900 census of Terre Haute, IN
living not too far from his parents:



George ROBINSON, age 40, born Nov 1859, married 2 years, born IN, parents
born NY/Canada, a Traveling Salesman

Alice ROBINSON, wife, age 36, born June 1863, married 2 years, no children,
born IN, parents born OH/PA



I find George again in the 1920 census still living in Terre Haute, IN with
records providing the following info:



George H. ROBINSON, age 51, married 12 years, born IN, parents born NY/PA, a
Brewery Secretary

Alice ROBINSON, wife, age 48, married 12 years, no children, born IN,
parents born OH

Margarite ROBERTS, niece, age 17, born IL, parents born KY/IN



Then in 1920 Alice is living in Terre Haute, IN without George, records are
as follows:



Alice ROBINSON, age 53, a widow, born IN, parents born OH/PA



I'm hoping to locate someone from his family so that this wonderful old
photograph can be returned to their care. If you are a member of this
family, or know someone who might be, please contact me.



Thanks,

Shelley
