Page. 96: Cumberland Robinson took his name after the Cumberland Mountains. “Most of his early life was spent in his native state of Tennessee, where he received an education and afterward married Miss Marchbanks. To this union thirteen children were born, six boys, and seven girls. Mr. Robinson immigrated to Arkansas from Tennessee in September 1850, and located in Prairie County, where he remained until his death, which occurred October 16, 1850. He was a successful farmer, and took no little interest in the education of the young, thinking that a substantial literary foundation fitted them for any position, whether they possessed a fortune or not. Himself and wife were active members of the Baptist Church, the former being deacon in Big Black Church while in Tennessee. Mrs. Robinson was called to her final home in 1865.254 (254 Goodspeed’s History of Central Arkansas, Lonoke County, pg. 641).

Story of William Anderson by Janet Anderson Cumberland Co., VA & It’s People – pgs. 65 or 66. The Cumberland County Historical Society, Inc.

My third Great Grandfather, Thomas Anderson, left Cumberland County in 1806 and headed west. He traveled with two brothers, Garland and Joel.

The three Anderson boys had been born and raised in Cumberland, VA. They left behind several brothers and sisters and their mother Catherine Shirley Anderson. Their father, William Anderson, had died in Cumberland, VA in 1795. William had been a tailor by trade and lived on land in Cumberland, VA he had inherited from his father James Anderson. Beside William lived his two brother Lawrence and George and their families. Also, living in Cumberland were three other brothers of William – Richard, John and Jesse. When it came time for William to marry, he picked a girl from Spotsylvania County, VA. Catherine was the daughter of John and Elizabeth Shirley and was probably one of the oldest children of her parents. She and William were married about 1770.

William and Catherine, by family tradition, had fourteen children; however, records have been found for only eleven: Elizabeth, who married John “Jacky” Tally and had many descendants, lived for many years in Cumberland, VA. John married Frances Anderson, his first cousin, and had many descendants. Joel, Thomas and Garland moved to middle Tennessee. Thomas and Garland married sister, Judith and Sarah Robinson, daughters of Edward and Anna Meador Robinson of Cumberland, VA who moved with their daughters and sons•in•laws to Tennessee. William was a tailor as was his father. He married and lived in Cartersville, Cumberland County, VA, until his death about 1822. He had one son and three daughters. Sarah married Gross Robinson in 1809 and lived in Cumberland, VA until her husband’s death. Gross Robinson fell from the courthouse in Richmond, VA, while he was helping to build it and died. Then she and her many children moved to middle Tennessee near her brothers. Caleb married his first cousin Rebecca Anderson and lived in Cumberland, VA. He had no children and died in Cumberland, VA in 1847.

Frances married James Meador and had children. Little is known of Frances after her marriage, however. Shirley married twice, first to his cousin Elizabeth Anderson and then to Mary Oslin. He had one son, Willis, whose descendants still live in Cumberland,VA. James died as a young man in CaIra, Cumberland, VA. He too was a tailor, and when he died he had no wife or children. Children also recorded for William and Catherine for which no records have been found are Paul, Nancy, and Patsey.

The Anderson brothers produced a bountiful clan in the early years of Cumberland County. William, George, and Lawrence lived on Soke Arse Creek, which was later renamed Bonbrook Creek. Richard lived near by and John and Jesse lived lower in the county near the present Brown's Church. Their children married into many of the families of Cumberland including Meadors, Robinsons, Talleys, Oslins, Osbornes, Jenkins, Blantons and Trents.
