Notes for COL. CHARLES ROBERTSON/ROBINSON: Synonymity with Colonel Charles Robertson: That Charles Robertson, the son of Israel Roberson, is the same person as Colonel Charles Robertson of Washington County, Tennessee is proven through the names and relationships cited in the various source documents associated with both men. On August 1, 1755: I, Isral Roberson Sr of Granville County, North Carolina, for divers causes and the love I have for my son Charles Roberson, have granted to Charles Roberson, one tract of land of 200 acres in Lunenburg County and bounded by Rosses Branch [and] Thomas Ross. Israel [his X mark] Roberson. Wit: Nicholas Roberson, Henry [his X mark] King, George Nichols. Recorded: September 1, 1761. [Lunenburg County, VA Deed Book 7, p. 128] On August 29, 1761: Charles Roberson and his wife, Susana, of Granville County, North Carolina, to George King of same for £40, one tract of 200 acres in Lunenburg County and bounded by the county line [and] Reedy Branch. The land was first received by Israel Roberson and made [over] to Carles [sic] Roberson in Lunenburg County. Charles [his X mark] Roberson, Susanna Roberson. Wit: George Nichols, Robert [his X mark] King, Daniel Collson. Recorded: September 1, 1761. [Lunenburg County, Virginia Deed Book 7. p. 130.] In his will of December 4, 1760, [Granville Unrecorded Will No. 53] Israel Roberson left his son Charles five shillings and he left "Jules son of Charles" twenty shillings, and George Robertson, the youngest brother of Charles Robertson, bequeathed "Julus," the son of Charles Robertson, half the cattle he owned and a tract of land [Granville Unrecorded Will No. 52] while David Robertson, the fourth child of Israel and Sarah Robertson, left a legacy to "George the youngest son of my Brother Charles Robertson" in his own will. [North Carolina Wills Number 094.901.1] Thus one knows that Charles Robertson, the son of Israel and Sarah Robertson, married a woman named Susanna and had an elder son named "Jules" or "Julus" and that his youngest son was named George. The will of Charles Robertson, Senior of Washington County, Tennessee mentions his wife Susannah and daughters Keziah Sevier, Sarah Cox, and Rosamond Beane as well as a son named William and an inferential son named Charles Robertson, Jr., and makes the following stipulation: I do bequeath unto my wife Susannah Robertson negroe Peter & Poll her bed & furniture sufficient for the same until the said Susannah death then they to be divided equally divided amongst my sons.... [Washington County, Tennessee Will Book 1. p. 44] The names of all of Colonel Robertson's male heirs, George, Julius, William, and Charles, are shown in a land transaction, dated October 13, 1806 and registered August 21, 1809, in which the heirs of Charles Robertson conveyed their moiety in ten thousand acres of land, part of the land they inherited from their father, in Maury County, Tennessee to Frederick Hargett and Scott Gray. [Maury County, Tennessee Deeds A. pp. 195-197] The foregoing citations are sufficient proof that Colonel Charles Robertson and Charles Robertson, Israel and Sarah Roberson's son are one and the same, and there is additional hearsay information about some of the members of Colonel Robertson's immediate family contained within a document entitled "A Biographical Sketch of the Life of Gen. J. C. N. Robertson." The document itself is misnamed. It is more properly an autobiographical sketch written by Brigadier General Julius Caesar Nichols Robertson, Colonel Robertson's grandson, in February 1869 at Forest Grove Plantation near Hernando, DeSoto County, Mississippi. The sketch begins: I was born on the 20th of February, A.D. 1792, in Washington County, in the State of Tennessee, though it was then North Carolina as the State of Tennessee was not admitted to the Union until 1796. My father, George Robertson, was the youngest son of Col. Charles Robertson, of whom favorable mention is made in the history of the Revolution. He commanded as a major in Col. John Sevier's regiment, at the memorable battle of King's Mountain, in which both my grandfathers and four of my uncles were engaged. One of my uncles, Capt. Robert Sevier, fell in that engagement, and another uncle, Julius Robertson, was wounded. My father was too young to participate much in the service, though he went into it near the close of the war. While the sketch is not a sworn affadavit, it does establish with some degree of certainty that George Robertson was Colonel Robertson's youngest son and mentions his uncle Julius Robertson. The sketch also agrees with the primary proofs associated with Colonel Robertson's will and estate settlement, and it is consistent with the documents relating to Israel and Sarah Roberson's son Charles.
