Born: Altagoaghan Aghalucher Parish, Fermanagh, Ulster, Ireland Silver Creek Story pub. 1952 by Blanche Swindell pgs. 71-76 W. B. ROBINSON FAMILY The beginnings of the William Robinson family in America were with William and his wife, Matilda (Williamson). William, son of James and Margaret (Johnston) Robinson, was born in North Ireland, in 1814. He died in Silver Creek in 1873. He came west in 1852 and settled in Silver Creek where two of his brothers, James and Thomas, were also settling. He married Matilda Williamson, who was born in Ireland and died in Silver Creek in 1910. Like all their neighbors, William and "Tillie" lived at first in a log house, which was situated a little north of his own land on the property of his brother, James. The pioneers always looked for timber when they built. Timber provided warmth and protection. He set the log house on his brother's property because there was the very surrounding of trees he wanted. Later they built, on their own land, the first frame house in the community. The same house is in use on the family farm at the present time. Six children were born to the couple, part of them in the new frame house. In the high tide of their family development the heavy blow fell. William contracted typhoid fever at a time when that disease was taking its toll in the community. Within the next two years the remaining members of the family, including the mother, had typhoid fever and two children, Sarah and James died. Anyone looking back across the years feels an inexpressible sympathy for this young mother left with a broken home and the mountainous task before her of wresting a home from what was then largely a wilderness. Through the years Aunt Tillie and the four children, Maggie, Eliza Ann, William B., and Anthony T., carried on. Eventually theirs was one of the best farms in the country...
