I would very much like to have the names of your g g grandfather's children. He would be the right age to be Absolum's father. You are right - Absolum was called Ab - he is in the 1900 U.S. Census report as Ab and his wife as "Josie". It sounds like we must be cousins. Do you know of any family Bibles that would have information? Is your information family lore or is it documented?
Absolam Robinson married Josephine Parks, the children that survived were, in birth order: Armintia Ann, John Wesley, Pearl Maude, Myrtle Lavada, Rella May, Delbert Lee, Wiliam Absolum and Ernest Elmer.
After Josephine Parks Robinson died Ab married Mary Burcham Davis and to this union was born Lloyd.
