Personal Facts and Details
Notes

Note
Family records of Lewis Edgar and Matilde Francis as recorded in their marriage record and certified to by J. F. Sinclair, Justice of the Peace,
Crocket County, Tennessee:

"L.E. Robbins of Crocket County, State of Tennessee and Matilde Francis Cochran of Sage County, State of Tennessee on the 18th day of October
1875, at the home of the brides Mother, were joined in Holy Matrimony.
There were ten children born of this marriage: four girls and six boys. It appears that the family traveled from Tennessee to Arkansas before coming
to Texas sometime around 1892. The ninth child, William Gentry, was born in Holland, Texas in 1896. He married Thelma G. Stigall in 1915.
There is currently no more information on our great-grandparents, Lewis Edgar and Matilde Francis.

Note
I found a little more information about Lewis Edgar Robbins and his father. On the 1880 Census for Crockett County, TN, L.E. gave his father's birthplace as Tennessee and his mother was born in North Carolina. The same census records indicate that L.E.'s wife Matilda's parents are N.W. Cochran & Alaminta Martha May ‎(both born in TN)‎.

Note
In 1870, Crockett County was created from parts of other surrounding counties. On the 1880 census L.E. Robbins was recorded as living in DISTRICT: 12th Civil District. According to ­http­://­tn­-­roots­.­com­/­tncrockett­/­districts­.­html­, this would put them in Dyer County #2 & 14 prior to 1870. This corresponds to the town of Friendship, TN.

However, there is no L.E. Robbins listed in the 1860 Census for Dyer County, TN in either district 2 or 14.

Note
Primary information found in 1880 US Federal Population Census.
