Delta County Texas — Welcome
John James Robnett Family
submitted by Tommie Robnett-Swope
I am a 4th generation
Robnett born in Texas. My name is Tommie Robnett-Swope and I'm a
retired artist/writer and have become a genealogist of my direct Robnett
lineage.
It is my pleasure to submit this biographical-record; which covers my family's history in Delta County, Texas from the1840's to the 1920's
I have researched my forebearers over the course of seven years and have discovered that the eras in which they lived, forced them to demonstrate extreme persistence on a daily basis which far victors over my abilities.
If my older ones' lives were eminient or not isn't significant to me, but the factors they possessed to brace themselves against the elements, misfortunes, and the menaces of pioneering have overwhelmed my whole thought process.
The sweat from their brows, their determination, and hands of time have left dusty intricate memories which I'm compelled to unveil. I'm driven forth with the ever present knowledge of knowing. I'm only here because these brave souls once existed.
To the southwest with the winds of chance, my GG-Grandfather John James Robnett arrived in Texas in the early 1840's from Palmyra, Missouri. Shortly after his arrival, he applied for and received a 2nd class land grant from The Republic of Texas for 320 acres—located approximately 18 miles SW of Clarksville on the North Sulphur River Fork of Red River County.
Jack was married twice and fathered 13 children but only 10 of the children survived to a "ripe old age."
Jack lived nine years or more of his First Marriage in Delta County, which at the time was Hopkins County.
In his Second Marriage and the remainder of his life, he lived close to the Delta County line in adjoining counties.
Most of Jack's grown children chose to live in or near Klondike, Delta County, Texas.
Please see the link for the record of Jack's marriages and the historical dates of his children. The document will open as a Word document.
