Henry Robinson
Henry Robinson, clothier, Washington, was born in Washington, in the year 1819, in the public square and in the jail house; his father being the sheriff of the county at the time. He is a son of Robert and Sarah Robinson. His father was a native of Pennsylvania, and held the office of sheriff four years, and was also representative of the county, and one of its oldest pioneers. He had a family of twelve children.
Henry, the subject of our remarks, was married in the year 1847, to Miss Maria L. Dawson, daughter of Abraham and Anna Dawson, of Virginia. She was living at Mr. Robert Robinson's house at the time. She died in 1852, leaving a loving husband and two children to mourn her loss—Mary, one of the children, having since died, and Emma L. who still survives.
He was again married, in 1872, to Miss Phoeba A. Albaugh, daughter of Jacob and Sarah Albaugh, of this state. He filled the office of county auditor from 1850 to 1859. He has been a member of the Odd-fellows for a number of years, and was one of the charter members of the encampment.
Our subject is now extensively engaged in the clothing business at Washington.
