NOTE - The wife, Mary, listed on this record is probably not Tom's first wife, Mary Redwing, because her age is too young to be the mother of Tom's daughter, Mary Louise Robinson. This Mary's birth location was given as Wisconsin instead of Minnesota which was shown on the census record for the daughter, Mary Lousie Robinson-Stoops.

Also, the son, John Robinson, was probably the son of this Mary because it shows his mother's birth location as Wisconsin. The oldest son, Esiah, shows his mother's birth location as Minnesota, so he is probably a son of Mary Redwing.

  Marriage Notes:

Tom's first wife, Mary Redwing, gave birth to Esiah Robinson in 1871. So the marriage to his second wife had to occur sometime between 1871 and 1880 in which his second wife was listed on the census. The first wife was born in Minnesota and the second wife was born in Wisconsin.
