Welcome During the 1830s, several families left their homes in Buncombe County, NC and traveled by wagon along the Wilderness Trail to make a new life in the rough, uncultivated hills of Clay County, KY. This website is dedicated to the Robinson pioneers who made that journey and to their many descendants of today who are attempting to put together a family tree. By working together, we hope to glean more information and understanding of our ancestors and the challenges they surmounted in order to survive and flourish. Alternate spellings of the surname (Robertson, Robison, Roberson, etc.) have been used by different branches of the family throughout the years. Despite such variations, it is likely that many of these families that in the area of Clay, Owsley, Jackson, Estill, Madison and surrounding counties in Kentucky are related. Our goal is to learn more about the later generations of the family as well as to find documentation of the early ones by making contacts with others reseaching the family—the Cousins—and to have fun in the meantime. Difficulty in proving family connections is common for Robinson researchers. Lack of primary documentation is a main obstacle for many of us. The sharing of information helps us to gain better understanding of the family and may lead to breakthroughs in research. It has been a pleasure to get to know one another and swap information and stories. This website is made possible by Cousins who have shared their research and family information. If you are a Robinson descendant or researcher and would like to add material to this website, we welcome you to join us. About the new site The Robinson Cousin Genealogy Pages site — now called the Robinson Cousin Homestead — has undergone extensive redesign changes and has had several pages of information added. To help you navigate the site, here is a summary of what's been done:
