CLINTON ROBINSON
Harland Cavalry
1st Class Musician, 11th Regiment, PA Cavalry
We have letters from Clinton, his brother Myron, and sisters Helen Robinson and Julia Perkins. They refer to Harriet as Cousin. We have not been able to identify parents. We believe the father to be a brother of Harriet's mother, Lydia Robison. Clinton was born in Tompkins County, NY and living in Bradford County, PA at the time of the Civil War. Have been unable to determine if he married or received a pension.
November 1999: In transcribing letters from Helen (Nell) Robinson, she states when Clinton returned from the war he went to Minnesota for his wife, liked it so much he decided to stay. (Stillwater, MN 1865)
