and here's the marriage record for James "Robinson" and Priscilla https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?dbid=61372&h=1590417&indiv=try&o_vc=Record:OtherRecord&rhSource=1222. I'd like to punt on this merge since I've seen horrendous spelling on old Kentucky records in the past. Here's the sequence for the census records on Ancestry.com: 1830- Robbinson (2 bs), 1840- Robertson, 1850/60- Robinson, 1870/80- Roberson. When you search for Priscilla there are about 10 hits and EVERY one of them is spelled differently. If you (Anon) have Roberson relatives, you have my permission on the merge, (There's a Robersonville just north of Greenville NC where I live ;)
I found a picture of their gravestone where it is spelled Roberson. https://www.ancestry.com/mediaui-viewer/tree/41978462/person/19706802072/media/d1825f22-f3ad-4d80-b768-75769d0e5414?_phsrc=kVS138&_phstart=successSource
