Robert William Robinson

ID# 11343, b. 3 March 1921, d. 9 February 1966

Birth*

Robert William Robinson was born on 3 March 1921.¹

Marriage*

He married Polly Ann Whisnant, daughter of Wade Lawrence Whisnant and Carrie Gertrude Baker, circa 1948 in Orlando, Orange Co., FL; Florida marriage records for Orange Co., CA, listed the year of marriage as "1948". The Catawba County Heritage Book listed the date of marriage as 30 Jun 1938. Since the 1940 census lists her as not married and living with her parents I would assume the datae in the heritage book is incorrrect.

Robert William Robinson died on 9 February 1966 at age 44.¹
