See Notes on Thomas Robinson Jr in Rutherford Co NC, Jasper/Butts Co GA and Chamber Co AL
Thomas Robinson Jr was born in Rutherford Co, North Carolina. Nothing is known of his early life, but you have to believe he grew up doing those things a fairly well off farm boy would do in that time. He clearly was educated and when his father, Thomas Sr, died he began accumulating land on Robinson and Puzzle Creek in Rutherford Co. There are numerous deeds (listed below) during this time in North Carolina. Why and exactly when he left North Carolina is unknown. It was probably for new land that cause the move and the standard westward route was either Tennessee or Georgia. He decided on Georgia. His route into Georgia would have paralled today's I-85, which at that time was an Indian Trading Path that was two wagons wide. The route would not have been easy, but better than most roads in the South at that time. The first place I find Thomas Jr is in Baldwin County, Georgia in Jan 1808. The second record, dated Jul 1808, says he was from Randolph County. Georgia was expanding west very quickly during this time and new counties were being carved out of the old ones and it wasn't unusual to find several different county names on one persons deeds even though they didn't move very far. In this case, Randolph, in 1807, was formed out of Baldwin Co and then in 1812, Jasper Co was cut out of Randolph Co. By 1822, Thomas Jr is looking west and purchases land in then Monroe Co, GA, which became Butts Co in 1825. It's doubtful he moved to Butts Co this early but was acquiring land and planning the move. By late 1824 he appears to have moved permanently into Butts Co. For a chronological listing of events relating to Thomas Robinson Jr in North Carolina and Georgia click here. By 1838 Thomas Robinson is listed in the census of Wickerville, Chambers Co, AL. Also listed with him are Thomas Robinson Jr (his son), Jesse Robinson and Casper Amos.
