: has anybody been to hayes cemetary
: lately? Or related to Robinsons in
: this cemetary? I have grandparents
: there with his parents (Cecil, Mike
: & Vestia Robinson)
: Mike & Vestia Robinson is my Grandparents. Maxine Robinson they'er daughter was my mother one of my brothers middle name was cecil. He's dead so is my older brother raymond. I have one brother left. I've been to their graves. The correct name is Robertson. I have many records of them, marrage,death. No records of birth on Mike. His father's name was Ike.His mother was Jane Gabbard. Her family came from Germany. The original spelling for Gabbard was Gebhert.I'ts funny on Mike's death certificate, giving his last name as Jackson. every sensus I looked up he was always with a different family member. I also found out that there was an Indian family there at the time that's last name was Jackson. As I remember his skin was very dark. all his children was dark skined. Veste as my father called her died with T.B. as did some of her children. Cecil, Don, the youngest boy, they had a very young dauther died also of t.b. I never met Cecil. My dad had a picture of him at the hospitle where he died. It got lost with all other photos of my family. I also remember Uncle Ernist. he died of a heart attach.I will look to find the picture I took of the graves. Cecil's the only one with a head stone. I believe he was in the millatary. The Army. Eral another brother was past out on the railtrain in wolverine. Got his head cut off by the cowhook. Ernest was with him. said when he went to take a leek. He came back and found his brother's headless body lying on the tracks. Also Grandpa Robinson got his leg cut off by a train, he also was drunk pastout on the tracks also. I remember G-pa Robinson drank a lot. He died when I was 6 or 7 years old. He was also bald headed. He died from a fire in his house. Pastout drunk in front of his coal stove, the hot embers fell out of the stove. He's brother John gave info. on his death cert. By the way my maiden name is Fletcher my father was Harlan. I guess I've said enough for now. I will try and find the picture. It may take time for me. I've been sick for a while. I'll try to find it. I guess we're cousins. Patty Dyer
