James L. Robertson (1820-1880)

James L. Robertson was born around 1820 in Kentucky.

James married Martha Ann Clift around 1845 in Hopkins County, Kentucky.  James was around 24 years and Martha was about 21 years.  Martha was born in 1823 in Kentucky.

James and Martha were the parents of at least 13 children:

(Infant Son) Robertson                   born September 10, 1844

George W. Robertson                     born 1845

Catharine Leticia Robertson          born 1846

John W. Robertson                         born 1849

William C. Robertson                      born 1851

Horace L. Robertson                       born June 3, 1852

H. E. Robertson                               born 1853
James L. Robertson                       born September 30, 1854

Charles Robertson                          born 1857

Anna E. Robertson                          born 1859

Wadkins Robertson                         born 1862

James A. Robertson                        born 1862

Jinnie Robertson                             born 1864

Four of James’ and Martha’s children died young.  Their firstborn child lived only six weeks, passing away on October 20, 1844.  Their sons, Horace and James both died on January 25, 1858.  They were six years and four years, respectively.  John was not listed in the 1860 US Census, so it is assumed that he died before then.  These children were buried in the Browder’s Church Cemetery in Hopkins County, Kentucky. 

After their marriage, James and Martha settled their family on a farm in Hopkins County, Kentucky.  In 1850, James was employed as a constable, and owned real estate valued at $800.

By 1860, James’ real estate was valued at $8,000 and his personal estate was worth $10,000.  The Robertson family had a dozen slaves working their land; five males and seven females.

Martha A. Robertson died on July 29, 1867 in Hopkins County, Kentucky.  She was laid to rest near the four children she and James buried in the Browder’s Church Cemetery in Hopkins County, Kentucky. 

James remarried the next year to Pauline Earle, a widow.  They were married on June 30, 1868 in Hopkins County, Kentucky.  This was the second marriage for both.  Pauline was born on August 11, 1845 in Union County, Kentucky, the daughter of Richard Gregory and Sarah F. Waggener. 

In 1870, James and Pauline were living and working on a farm in Caseyville, Union County, Kentucky.  Listed in the household were James’ five youngest children, as well as Pauline’s daughter.

James L. Robertson died sometime before 1880, as Pauline was listed as a widow in that census.

Pauline Gregory (1845-1888)

Pauline Gregory was born on August 11, 1845 in Union County, Kentucky.  She was the daughter of Richard Gregory and Sarah F. Waggener. 

Pauline married N. Bert Earle, a widower, on December 1, 1861 in Hopkins County, Kentucky.  She was 16 years old and he was 38 years.  N. B. was born on July 25, 1823 in Kentucky. 

N. B. and Pauline had one child:

Sallie Earle               born September 21, 1863

N. Bert Earle died on September 17, 1865 in Hopkins County, Kentucky.  He was laid to rest near his first wife, Mariam, in Bishop Cemetery in Hopkins County, Kentucky.  He was 42 years old at his death.

Pauline remarried to James L. Robertson three years later.  They were wed on June 30, 1868 in Hopkins County, Kentucky.  This was the second marriage for both.  James was born about 1820 in Kentucky.

In 1870, James and Pauline were living and working on a farm in Caseyville, Union County, Kentucky.  Listed in the household were James’ five youngest children, as well as Pauline’s daughter.

N. Bert Earle (1823-1865)

N. Bert Earle was born on July 25, 1823 in Kentucky.  Although I have not found any documentation of his parentage, I think he may be the son of Edward Hampton Earle and Susan Davis.

N. B. married Mariam C. Rees sometime before 1850.  Mariam was born on November 7, 1831 in Kentucky. 

N. B. and Mariam were the parents of at least two children:

Susan L. Earle                     born January 1854

Josephine R. Earle              born August 10, 1856

In 1850, N. B. and Mariam were living in Hopkins County, Kentucky.  They were living next to Edward and Susan Earle.

Susan L. Earle died in September 1854 in Hopkins County, Kentucky.  She was just 8 months old at her death.

Mariam C. Rees Earle died on January 6, 1860 in Hopkins County, Kentucky.  She was buried in Bishop Cemetery in Hopkins County, Kentucky.  Mariam was 28 years old at her death.

In June 1860, N. B. and his daughter, Josephine, were living and working on a farm in Madisonville, Hopkins County, Kentucky.  Also laboring on the farm were six slaves; three male and three female.

N. B. remarried on December 1, 1861 to Pauline Gregory.  They were married in Hopkins County, Kentucky.  Pauline was 16 years old, and this was her first marriage.  Pauline was born on August 11, 1845 in Union County, Kentucky, the daughter of Richard Gregory and Sarah F. Waggener.

N. B. and Pauline were the parents of one child:

Sallie Earle               born September 21, 1863

N. Bert Earle died on September 17, 1865 in Hopkins County, Kentucky.  He was laid to rest near his first wife, Mariam, in Bishop Cemetery in Hopkins County, Kentucky.  He was 42 years old at his death.

After the death of her father, Josephine Earle went to live with her uncle, Aspasia Earle, and his wife in their home in Madisonville, Hopkins County, Kentucky.  She was listed in their household in the 1870 US Census.

Josephine R. Earle died on April 26, 1878 in Hopkins County, Kentucky.  She was laid to rest in the Grapevine Cemetery in Madisonville, Hopkins County, Kentucky.  She was 21 years old at her death.
