      Jan.1998: Per an e-mail from Katrina Dorneman (relatives@home.com), Robinson is a married name, not the maiden name of Mary Robinson. Her first husband was "Long John" Robinson, who was killed in 1756 at Vaus' Fort near Christiansburg, VA. He was her first cousin, the son of James Robinson. This information is documented in a number of places, including: the Draper Manuscripts; Court records of Augusta Co. VA; a genealogy book on the Scotch-Irish in Augusta Co. VA by Chaulkey; a history of Botetourt Co. VA by Kegley.

      The daughter of "Long John" and Mary Robinson, Elizabeth Robinson, later married Alexander Montgomery of Blount County, TN, thus tieing these two lines together.
