From Robison Families of Ohio:
Went to Meigs county, Ohio in 1839. Married Chloe D. Percy in 1843. Remained in Rutland Township. Had four farms - started Robison Cemetery. Died 1902. Had 5 children and his only son died young.
The autobiography of Silas Robinson written for the newspaper on December 26, 1898:
Langsville, O., Dec. 26, 1898.
Ed. Leader: - Being interested in the letters that are appearing in the Log Cabin department, I send you herewith my mite to help swell the general contribution.
I was born at Chestnut Ridge, Cecil County, PA., Oct. 30, 1821. When I was about five years old my parents, Joseph and Elizabeth Robinson, removed to Columbiana County, Ohio, stopping on school land only a mile from Green Village and five miles from Salem, one of the somewhat noted towns of the state.
My parents remained in Columbiana County for seven years, but my father having purchased a piece of land in Trumbull County, Ohio, we removed to this state, the land he purchased being in Milton Township, a distance of 10 miles from Youngstown.
In the year 1838 I saw a man named McKisson, hung for killing his brother's wife with an ax, the out growth of jealousy. Jacob Cook lived within about three miles of the scene of this bloody tragedy.
On the 12th of March, with the snow knee deep, we left Trumbull County, stopping about three weeks at the home of my brother-in-law, William Bradfield, who lived near East Fairfield, Columbiana County. We went from there to Wellsville on the Ohio about the middle of April, a distance of about 18 miles, and took one of the line boats in the dusk of the evening, landing at Sheffield, then consisting of only two or three buildings, about three o'clock next day.
My father and brother-in-law, Mr. Bradfield, had been down the fall before and bought half section of land at $2.50 an acre the purchase having been made of the Putnams of Marietta.
We put up for the night at Langsville with the father of Benjamin Lang, and the next day uncle Johnny McVey hauled our household goods out from Sheffield to a cabin of Josiah Maloon's place. Here we stayed a few days until my father put up a small shanty in which to live. This shanty stood near where I now live. I have never moved but once, and that was from the log cabin into the house I now occupy. My father lived only a few years after moving here, and died, I think in 1842. My mother lived 31 years and a day longer than my father, and was 95 years of age when she departed this life.
When I came here it was wilderness from my place to the old Woods or Giles Mill, there being not even a footpath between the two places. William Longstreth came there, I think, the same year we came to Meigs County. I remember well when Mr. Longstreth came. His son Maurice was, at that time, quite a little boy. Robert Folden lived then on Parker Run, or came soon after. Uncle Sammy McKnight and John Craig lived on what is now Robert M. Davis homestead. The Davises came to this county after we got here. I think that William Anderson was the only one living in what is known as the Grass Run region, his place of abode being what is now known as the Ellison Anderson estate.
IN THE DEXTER NEIGHBORHOOD
When we came here lived Alex Vonschriltz and Isaac Woods. John Nelson, the father of William Nelson, lived where William now lives. Isaac Woods lived on the place on Dexter Creek, now owned by G. M. Wiseman.
My brothers, William and Joseph left Newton Falls in Trumbull County about the same time we did and got here the same day. My brother William bought the land just below Dexter, now owned by M. L. Vale, which consisted of 90 acres. He put up a cabin on the little eminence between the bridge and cut. "Uncle Billy", as he was familiarly called, sold this land to Jacob Cook, who lived for a time on the place and then sold out to William Longstreth. My brother, William, died on land now owned by Homer Hilla and in a house formerly occupied by John Robison.
Richard Amos came soon after and settled, I think, on Parker's Run, while his brother Tom settled on Grass Run. About this time Dr. Ellison Brown took up his abode on Grass Run. John Smith, wife and Uncle Erastus Waterman came to Leading Creek, and then Jack and Uncle Billy Saxton as did also Dr. John Hugg and others.
THE BRALEY MILL
In this neighborhood lived Amos, the father of Hattwell, Ruel and Amos Braley, the Stevenses and others. The mill was put up, I think, a year or two after we came here. It was built by Ansel Braley. Both sawing and grinding were done, and for years it did splendid work.
RAFTING
In the spring for six successive years, I took a raft from this mill down to the mouth of the creek and then down the Ohio River to Cincinnati. I went out usually on the March Rise, but sometimes had to wait for the necessary water in April or May.
My raft consisted of stuff sawed out by the Braley brothers at the mill, the principle part of which was scantling 4 inches square, out of which was made bed posts. I usually took two rafts out at a time, some 12 to 15 thousand feet. I had four mill dams to run - Langsville, Smith's, Bingham's and Skinner's. At one time I took about 24,000 feet of pine lumber, and inch and a quarter thick.
I didn't usually have much trouble in getting out of Leading Creek. It took about three days and two nights to float down to Cincinatti. I got about $9 a thousand for bedstead stuff and about $13 for yellow pine.
I had a pretty rough experience one night in floating, down about Portsmouth. It was foggy - I couldn't see anything and I couldn't land. Occasionally the raft would rake against the bank brush and then I would drift out into the river again. I endeavored to keep my bearings by throwing coal in the direction I supposed the bank to be. In this uncertain way I drifted in the fog all night and couldn't see a thing till 8 or 9 o'clock next day. My rafting was done in the 40's and 50's.
I have jumped many a time with John Smith, the father of the editor of the Leader. He was one of the most active men and as quick as a cat. I could beat him in a standing jump, but he was too much for me in a run.
My wife's name is Chloe Percy. My son, Rodney, died at the age of 18 years, 6 months and 14 days.
This is all for the time. I should like to hear from others of this neighborhood.
SILAS ROBINSON
Silas Robison, the tenth child of Joseph and Elizabeth, has already appeared on these pages. His autobiography and his fathers' Will tell us where and when he was born; that he went to Meigs County with his parents; and that he remained in Meigs County to care for his mother and his brother, Daniel.
Silas married Chloe Percy on January 26, 1843. Someetime after that he built a new house. It is my guess that it is still standing - the first house south of the Robison Cemetery - now owned (1999) by Oshel and Bette Edwards.
The 1850 census for Rutland Township, Meigs County, Ohio shows a household of seven persons headed by Silas. These are:
Silas Robison 30 PA
Chloe 26 OH
Permelia 6 OH
Clemmy 4 OH
Rodney 3 OH
Elizabeth 70 PA
Daniel 47 MD
The 1880 census for the same place shows;
Silas Robison 58 PA
Chloe 54 OH
Ettie M. 17 OH
Daniel 77 PA
Note - Elizabeth is gone (1872) as is the son, Rodney. With mother gone, Daniel's birthplace shifts from Maryland to Pennsylvania.
The 1880 tax duplicate shows Silas in possession of 151-1/2 acres in Section 33, Rutland Township with a frame house valued at $300.00 and a barn at $200.00, together with 40 acres of plow ground, 81.25 acres of meadow and pasture, and 30 acres of woodland.
By 1900 Silas was living with his daughter in this household:
Dana McKnight 39 OH
Etta 37 OH
Evert 16 OH
Gracie 13 OH
Earnest 12 OH
Robinson McKnight 5 OH
Silas Robinson 79 PA
The Robison Cemetery was taken from the farm owned by Silas, deeded to the Township by Silas and his wife. Here are buried Joseph and Elizabeth, together with these members of Silas' family:
Silas Robison - September 17, 1902 81y 10m 19d
Rodney D. Robison - August 18, 1866 18y 6m 11d
Dana McKnight - 1860-1919
Ettie M. McKnight - 1862-1932
U. A. Hunt - 1845-1933
Clemma Hunt - 1846-1924
