Christina Robinett ¹

  General Notes:

Logan Co was part of Virginia when she was born.
We think this is were she is buried. Her parents were Sampson Robinette & Jane McGraw. Several of her children & grandchildren are buried here.

In a Tazewell Co. Va court case in 1895 her sister Rhoda was suing a coal company, she stated she would be 73 on Nov. 6th, this would make her birth date 6 Nov 1922. She states her mother's maiden name was Tolles. She also states she was never married.

Her children went by Robinette. When her grandson Reece (s/o William) got into trouble with the law he changed his last name to Maxwell. Stories in the family are told that the farther of her children (at least William) was a Maxwell.
