My husbands Aunt Helen (Kratzer) Davis who was born in 1913 and just celebrated her 100th birthday in June 2013, and lives in California. She worked on her family genealogy many years ago, she knew how much I was interested in our family tree and she so graciously gave me her handy work a few years ago and it has been so helpful in my search. There has been a few in Ancestry that get the parents for Edward George Robinson mixed up, and I hope this can clear some of the confusion.
Aunt Helens grandfather Edward George Robinson "Ned" as he was called by the family was the son of Julius Robinson and Elizabeth McDaniel. Aunt Helen said they always called her Granny Beth. The McDaniels and Robinson's came from North Carolina, they wereScotch-Irish. Later they moved to Kentucky and made their home there. Granny Beth made her home most of the time with her son Edward and his family. She was a Herb doctor and nurse, she would always walk from house to house nursing the ones in need. She had been thrown from a horse, and left one leg badly injured, she would never ride a horse after that, and would walk every where.

The story Helen (Kratzer) Davis wrote about her grandfather and entered her story in her little book on the Robinson family, I will share. Her nephew David Kratzer inherited her little book in 2012 that was given to him by his cousin James Davis. Jim is the son of Helen. I wish Helen had put a year down when she entered her stories in the little book. I do know she wrote most of her stories when she was living with her married daughter in California. Today, 2013, she lives in Antelope Valley Care Center, in Lancaster, California. On June 14, 2013 she will be 100 years old. Helen has Alzheimer's Disease and does not recognize her family. Her little book with the pretty rose floral cover hold precious small stories that we will always treasure.
Edward was a Union Soldier in Kentucky. In the 7th Army Regiment, Co. B. Fought in the Civil War, from 1861-1864. Met his wife Mary Tennessee Phipps, while serving in the Army for 3 years. Grandfather Edward was injured in one of the battles. He died at the age of 46 in 1888, leaving a wife and 10 children. He died 4 months before his youngest child was born. Edward was buried in the Macedonia Baptist Church Cemetery. The church had bought a large Tomb Stone for his grave, honoring a Civil War Veteran. The Robinson family attended the Macedonia Baptist Church. Mary Tennessee Phipps was married at the age of 14 to Edward George Robinson. They had 13 children. Their home was in Berea, Kentucky. Their first son was born in the year 1867. Thomas Robinson.
