Children of GEORGE ROBINSON and SUSAN NELSON are:
  i.   NICHOLS8 ROBINSON.

  viii.   JULIUS CAESAR NICHOLS ROBINSON, b. February 20, 1792; m. MARGARET REAGAN.
  Notes for JULIUS CAESAR NICHOLS ROBINSON:
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.
