  • Notes 
    • Mary Helen Haines notes:

      Jefferson County was created in 1792, so Robert was technically born in Greene County. One source has his death as occurring on the road in Missouri as he was coming home to Tennessee from visiting his relations.

      In the 1830 census, Robert Jr. is on p. 288, his father on p. 281. Robert Jr. lives near Wm. Maskall (who is buried in the Col. Robert Mcfarland cemetery. Also neighbors are Isaac Barton, many Holdaways, and Hale.

      In the 1840 census, Robert appears on Image 83 with families called Day, Tally, and Evans as neighbors. On image 85 is Augustus Rice and Beverly Tally.

      In the 1850 census, his wife Mary Ann is living in the 13th District Jefferson Co. and her neighbors include John Richardson, age 30, Ezekial Evans, age 53, Thomas M. Jones, age 31, her son-in-law, a bunch of Tally's, and J.W. Doak, the cleric.

      From notes about this family which exist in Knoxville TN, (and do have lots of errors for the early history), it says that "Robert III was born April 17, 1791, died August 21, 1844, at Foxtown, KY, where he had gone on business. He was buried at Foxtown, KY. He first married Hannah Barton, October 15, 1816 and had two children: John B. born Oct. 10, 1817 and Isaac born Feb. 19, 1819. His wife, Hannah Barton, died Oct. 10, 1819. Robert III remarried August 1820 to Mary Ann Scott, born Feb. 11, 1800, and died Feb. 11, 1866. Robert III was an officer in the War of 1812. He especially distinguished himself at the Battle of Sandy Creek on the Canadian border, and led the famous charge of the 23rd Infantry at the Battle of Lundy Lane in 1814, for which he as called one of America's heroes in the book called "Gallant Deeds of American Heroes".
