Son of Gen James Robertson, "Father of Tennessee"

~"In the session of 1783 he won, and reciprocated, the warm friendship of the leader and representative of the settlements on the Cumberland in the new county of Davidson - Colonel James Robertson. So much did Colonel Robertson appreciate the friendship of Mr William Blount, that he named a son, born June 15, 1785, in his honor. I will be permitted to remark in passing that the family to William Blount Robertson has added luster to both names; one son, William Blount Robertson, Jr. having been a judge in Louisiana and Edward White Robertson having been for many years a Congressman from the same state". ~The American Historical Magazine Vol. IIINo.1 Jan. 1903.

Geneology

Also had a daughter, Tennessee Robertson Davis buried in Old Nashville City Cemetery along with her grandfather, Gen James Robertson.
