    • Estate Sale: May 1751, Chesterfield County, Virginia; At an estate sale, Thomas bought an axe and a wedge for 3 shillings and 5 pence. (Thomas is never listed on the tax lists of Chesterfield Co, so may not have lived there long enough or lived somewhere else & traveled there, the boundaries weren't far apar
    • Witness: 1767, Henry, Virginia, United States; Thomas Robertson (sic) witnessed the will of Ben Clements. Clements had been a neighbor of Thomas before they headed to western Va.
    • Oath: 10 October 1777, Henry, Virginia, United States; John, Thomas and Field Robertson, all sons of Thomas Robinson Sr. are on William Ward's Group who signed the Oath of Allegiance.

    Notes:

    Birth:
    Records show that name as both Robinson and Robertson. The family used the name Robertson more consistently while in Franklin County, but used Robinson before and after living in that county. Not sure why.

    Died:
    Will proved at this time. On the 12 October 1798 inventory was appraised & holdings were worth only 49lbs, 1 shilling, but most of Thomas wealth had been parsed out before his death as indicated by his will.
