Flag of America

John was born to James Lewis Robinson and Jane (Unknown) in 1801.[citation needed] The family migrated to America in 1812.[1][2]

"My father ... In disposition gentle and kind, but when aroused, fearless and unafraid. He was industrious, temperate, economical, a good provider, and an indulgent, wise father. ... I can bear this testimony of my father's character: I never heard from his lips a word, nor saw a single act of him, not in strict keeping with the character of a Christian and a gentleman. And he died as he lived—a good man. He was married three times and was the father of eighteen children."[1]

In 1819, he married Mary Jane "Polly" Estes.[1]
