JOHN ROBINSON, farmer; P. 0. Quincy. Is a son of Samuel Robinson, a native of Pennsylvania, who was born March 3, 1780, in Philadelphia. He emigrated to Ohio in a very early day, and located first near Spring Hills, Harrison Township, this county. In the year 1817, he entered land six miles southeast of Sibley, Shelby Co. He at first had only two neighbors, and they lived three miles distant. He opened and improved this farm, and lived there until death, which occurred in 1876, in his 97th year. He served as a soldier in the war of 1812. John Robinson was born Sept. 29, 1819, in Shelby Co., Ohio, upon his father's farm above mentioned; he was raised and educated there, receiving a very limited education. Mr. Robinson was united in marriage Dec. 7, 1847, to Miss Elizabeth, a daughter of William and sister of Samuel Calland, whose biography appears in this work. They had eight children, of whom four are living-Samuel C., Mary E., Thomas J. and John W. He has also a grand-daughter whom they have had bound to them-Leolah May Yohn. Mr. Robinson has a splendid farm of 240 acres, with good improvements and under a high state of cultivation. He has been a faithful member of M. E. Church for fifty-one years.
