Horseshoe Robinson ,

The history of this hero of Kennedys
novel has been recently given in this De-
partment. Further research has shown
that the soldiers true name was not
James Robinson" but James Robert
son." This is the name which appears
upon his tombstone and his descendants
are known by the name of Robertson.
He was called Familiarity Robinson be-
cause of the name of the novel, hence
the mistake.
We desire to be perfectly accurate, and
we hope that all errors which are pub
lished in this Department will be cor
rected. State Historian.

Yancey of Halifax County, N. c., but

Jeconias Yancey left no sons, ana II is not

Dinwiddie and Nansemond records have
all been destroyed and so with a NUMBER
of other counties in Virginia. Hence the
difficulty in tracing many family INES.
The family of Yeargan Is altogether
