ROBINSON-ROBISON
Charity
Spencer was born in 1744, daughter of Zachariah Spencer, and she
married Job Robinson “somewhere in Maryland about 1760-1765. By family tradition they had
five children upon arrival in North Carolina. Job applied for a land
grant there in 1773. It
seems likely that the Spencer and Robinson families came together to
North Carolina.
Children of Job and Charity Robinson were, in approximate
order of birth: Ezekiel, Zachariah, Job Fr., Mary Martha, James A.,
John, William Charity, Amos and Samuel Robinson. Earliest information as to
Charity’s husband Job Robinson is his land record in North
Carolina.” [Ref: Information compiled in 1998 by Ray A. Yount, 10031
