Chas Robertsons/Robinsons of Chatham - Pittsylvania,Virginia

How should I began this page. My family that I'm researching lives began in Chatham, Virginia. Some of the information I've received so far comes from Pittsylvania County.

My greatgrandfather, Chas Robertson/Robinson was from Chatham, time period the 1800's. His parents name were Martha and Samuel Shephard, we're assuming these people was my ggrandfather owners. I received census records showing that on December 31, 1871, he married Ellen Shelton. The names of the grooms parents were Samuel and Martha Shephard, the names of the brides parents were Lewis and Silva Shelton. So Lewis/Silva Shelton and Martha/Samuel Shephard would be my gggrandparents.

Chas Robertson/Robinson birth and death dates are unknown. But Ellen (Shelton) Robertson/Robinson was born in 1852 and she died 3/8/1920. Chas and Ellen had (9) children. Four (4) sons, Edward Robertson/Robinson, born 1/1/1873-died 10/17/1979; William Robertson/Robinson, born in 1893/94-died 10/21/1970; John Shed Robertson/Robinson, birth and death unknown; Charles Robertson/Robinson, birth and death unknown. Five (5) daughters, Lydia Robertson/Robinson, born in 1875-deathunknown; Nanny Robinson, birth and death unknown; Cornelia Robertson/Robinson, born in 1881-death unknown; Lettie Robinson, birth and death unknown; and Minnie Robinson, birth and death unknown.

They were all born in Chatham, Virginia, again around the 1800's. Black genealogy is hard to research because of the scarity of records, any information received would be greatly appreciated. I can be reached by my email address or home address posted to my home page.
