Notes:

Absolam Parker Robinson was born 16 NOV 1857 place unknown to parents unknown; this information is shown on his death certificate. 22 March 1878 he married Jospehine Parks who died 12 August 1900. After Josephine's death he married Mary Davis (maiden name unknown). Absolam died 17 June 1936 in Doniphan, Ripley Co., MO while visiting his son Delbert Robinson. His occupation was sewing machine salesman. Absolam's residency was Des Arc, Iron Co., MO. Absolam and Josephine are both buried in Mountain View Cemetery at Des Arc.

Family legend says Absolam did have at least one brother, the parents of the brothers died young. The boys were split up and raised by different families. One of the brothers may have been named Alex or an Uncle may have been Alex. When Absolam and a brother were very, very young lads they were chopping wood and one accidently chopped the heel off the other. The two met as adults and thought they knew each other. One asked the other to remove his shoe (believe the right shoe) and the man's heel was missing. The men then recognized each other as brothers.
