1. ALTEVERS, Laura
Robinson Cousins Homepage
During the 1830s, several families left their homes in Buncombe Co., NC and traveled by wagon along the Wilderness Trail to make a new life in the rough, uncultivated hills of Clay Co., KY
This website is dedicated to the Robinson pioneers who made that journey and to their many descendants of today who are attempting to put together a family tree.
