George Lewis Robinson, "Uncle George", was grandpa's youngest brother, born on the 08th of Mar 1891 in Nashville, Illinois. He lived in a cabin northwest of town near the village of Rowe. He married Cora Fibillia Manley at Lincoln, Illinois a few months after she turned 17. There were 10 children in the Manley family and one of Cora's younger sisters, Mamie Irene, married James Coates, whose daughter, Mae, married George's nephew, Harvey Lee Robinson.
