In noting the representative members of the bar of Taylor County it is gratifying to designate Mr. Robinson as one of the number, especially in view of the fact that he is a native son of the county and a scion of one of the old and honored families of this section of the Blue Grass State. He is engaged in the successful practice of his profession at Campbellsville, the judicial center of his native county, and has appeared in many important cases in the various courts of this section of Kentucky, with a record of many victories won in both the criminal and civil departments of law.

Mr. Robinson was born at Campbellsville on the 6th of June, 1861, and thus made his appearance shortly after the Civil war was initiated. He is a son of Capt. John R. Robinson, who was born in Taylor County February 23, 1823, and whose death here occurred on the11th of March, 1899. His father, Robert Robinson, a native of Randolph County, Virginia, and a member of a family founded in the Old Dominion State in the early Colonial period of our national history, became one of the pioneer settlers of Taylor County, Kentucky, whither he came as a young man. He here developed a productive farm, which he reclaimed from the virtual wilderness, and here he passed the remainder of his life. His wife, whose maiden name was Nancy Rice, was born and reared in Taylor County and here remained until the close of her life. The names of both the Robinson and Rice families have been prominently concerned in the early development of Taylor County.
