Descendants
of Samuel Robertson
To
date, our line of Rob*sons (descending from Col. Charles Robertson)
has not been connected ancestrally to the Samuel and David Columbus
Robertson family which also flourished in Clay County, KY. One
intermarriage between the two families has been noted, between
Elijah Wilburn Robinson (b. 26 February 1826 in Buncombe Co.,
NC, son of David Robinson b. 1795-1800) and Mary Ann Robertson
(b. 1832, Madison Co., KY, daughter of David C. Robertson b. 1770
in Moraviantown, VA). There may be more instances of this.
During
the lifetimes of the earlier generations, the two lines may have
been easy to distinguish from one another. However, for today's
researchers, they frequently have been a source of confusion.
To alleviate this problem, some information on this family is
presented.

Interview
given by David Columbus Robertson's son Allen E. Robertson, 15 April
1898 Clay County. KY:
(I was born in Madison County, near Foxtown on Otter Creek, March
25, 1822. I knew Sam Bennett, Mose Bennett, his brother the grandfather
of Govenor McCreary. -Omitted in some transcriptions.) My
father was born at or near mouth of Dan River, VA, at a little town
called Moraviantown. His name was David Robertson (another transcription
shows Robison); he died in Clay County KY 18 Or 20 of June 1872
or 73 age 103 and from Feb to June. His father was Samuel Robertson.
He was born in the Highlands of Scotland. His wife, Elizabeth Harris.
His brother William came over with him. I do not know when they
came nor whether either was married when they came, though I think,
they were. My grandfather left Moraviantown and settled two miles
southeast of Richmond, KY where the water works now are, in 1777.
I have heard my father say it was two years after Boone went into
the Fort at Boonesborough. Col. Estill settled near him about the
same time, I think the same year.
My grandfather
lived and died near there, a mile near Richmond, adjoining Judge
Goodoe's then called the John Rigg Farm. My father (David Columbus
Robertson -- name added in one transcription but not included in
others) was the eldest. He had a brother, John, who went to
Jackson County Mo. William, James and Alex settled in Indiana. James
in Shelby County. The other in Morgan County at Martinsville. Sally
married Gordon and went to Mississippi. Esther married George Baker
and went with others to Indiana. Mary married Metcalf and went to
Indiana. Jessamine went to Indiana unmarried.
Martha
married William Mobly and died in Madison. My father married Alie
Allen. In 1839 he moved from Otter Creek to Clay County and located
on Goose Creek opposite the mouth of Beech Creek. He said he came
to this part of the State to hunt, in an early day, when little
Goose Creek was the line between the whites and the Indians before
a treaty was made between them. He hunted with John Baker Sr., father
of "Julius" Bob and "Durkham" John, George Baker
who married Esther Robertson, my aunt, and was a Methodist preacher;
and James called "Claybank" a great fighter. "ClayBank"
was the father of Billy Baker Sr. was called "Renta" as
has a brother, Bowling Baker and a brother George Baker. George
was the father of John Baker called "Cana" the rhymer,
who made rhymes on Col Felix Gilbert and "Dry" John Baker
when John ran for the Senate and was elected and when Felix ran
for Representative and was defeated by Elhanon Murphy. Bowling Jr.
son of Bowling Sr. was bound to Daugh White to learn salt making
and killed Morgan Dezarn with a single barrel pistol with two balls
in it. He fled the country and never returned. George's descendants
disappeared.
The Bakers
came from North Carolina to Madison County and lived in Forts there.
Another of the hunters of the Blue Grass was William Morris called
'Cuddy' who settled in the forks of Goose Creek and Red Bird. These
Renta Baker and his Three sons, George, John and "Julius"
Bob Morris, Jack Harris, Elisha Harrison with my father David Robertson
made the 8 hunters who visited these regions.
Beng
Langford and a man named Lyons first made salt for commerce. I have
seen 40 boat loads of salt, 2,500 bushels tied up at my father's
place at the mouth of Beech Creek from 1837 to 1844. There were
18 furnaces in blast above Manchester, besides Francis Clark's two
furnaces, one coal and the other wood. Francis Clark got his 1000
acres at the mouth of Bull Skin by a "Head Right" from
VA. I think it was patented in his father's name. Salt was worth
75 cents. The Goose Creek furnaces made about 90 bushels a day and
the Bull Skin about 60 bushels and they would average 200 days a
year.
My mother
was an Allen. She was a daughter of Adoniram Allen. He was nicknamed
"Tedious" because he was so particular. The two creeks
called "Teges" were named for him; he was bom in New Hampshire
near the Vermont line. He was a Captain in Col. Cleveland's regiment
at the battle of King's Mtn where three Colonels commanded alternately.
He settled in Augusta, GA. He was a mechanic. He was first a ship
builder. At Augusta he put up iron works for some parties there.
He also did some work of that kind in Sparta GA. He emigrated to
KY but stopped in NC but stayed there only a year to put up a mill,
perhaps.
(James
and The. Garrard, James and Daugh White) were commissioners
who expended $20,000 in South Fork and Groose Creek and Red Bird.
This was about 1856-7.
Eighteen
years ago Judge Hyden got an appropriation of $6, 000 which General
Garrard and myself expended in the narrows or from the mouth of
Crain Creek to Turkey Gap, a distance of five miles by land. Most
of it was put in Chute. The "Basin" is 27 feet deep. We
put blasts in the bottom of the narrows. There have been perhaps
100 salt boats sunk in the "Basin" but no one.was ever
lost there till 1871; several have been drowned since. Pilots used
to charge $5.00 for taking boats through the narrows.
There
were 300 guards at the jail at one time when Dr Baker was in prison
here. I was a guard from June to October. I was one of the eight
inside guards. I was always present when any of Dr. Baker's friends
came in to see him. I was a late comer into the county and all parties
had confidence in me. While the 300 county guards were on duty the
State sent 300 guards; so that there were 600 at one time. Judge
Robertson and Judge Kainkade, both of Lexington were retained for
the defense. Joseph Moore of Mt. Vernon was Commonwealth's Attorney,
Dr. Caldwell's father assisted in the prosecution. Dr. Baker was
a monomaniac on the subject of his wife. He would talk with perfect
coherehcy in any other subject, but the moment his wife was mentioned
he was wild, looked wild, talked incoherent. Daniel Bates made a
will after Dr. Baker shot him, willing $10, 000 for the prosecution
of Dr. Baker. He died inside of 24 hours after he was shot. He was
sitting in his chair, asleep, at the salt furnace, when Baker shot
him.
Milt
Rice, afterwards Congressman from the 9th Dist, located at Barbourville,
I think it was, to practice law. His brother located at Irvine and
married a Miss Smith. They were Irishmen who located first in NY
then came to KY. Rice had not gotten any practice when a suit came
up. Commonwealth against "Boston" Bob Baker... a misdemeanor.
He had no counsel and the Judge appointed Rice to defend him. Silas
Woodson, afterwards Gov of MO and John M. Elliott, afterwards Judge
of the Court of Appeals were prosecuting. they made Baker out terribly
guilty. Hi Cornett was also before the Court for the same offense;
the difficulty had been between them. In the latter case they changed
side. Now Cornett was an angel. Rice said that in NY they did not
practice law by telling anecdotes but as it was so common in KY
he would indulge. He said he was reminded of Woodson's position
in this case of a church trial.

The middle name of Wilburn comes from Gene
Robinson (and is given in Kelly Morgan's Clay County Pioneers).
According to Gene's information, Elijah was married to 1) Mary Ann
Robertson, daughter of David C. Robertson, and 2) Leah Coldiron.
Gene cites the 1910 Clay County KY census:
HOH #
132-133, page 171... 2nd marriage for Elijah of 37 years... 1st
for Leah of 37 yrs. No Children.
If this
is correct, the children ascribed to a marriage to Nancy (i.e.,
Thomas, Margaret and Charles) may actually belong to Mary Ann.
