Life

Laura Virginia Robbins was born at Nixburg, Coosa County, Alabama, on 24 March 1842, a daughter of Solomon Robbins Sr. and Mary Martha Wilson, and died there on 13 October 1842, according to the FamilySearch tree, which cites no source for either date.1 Her sister Kate Grayson, in a letter to a nephew printed in George E. Brewer's history of Coosa County in 1942, gives the same place and the same two dates: "Laura Virginia, born in Nixburg, Coosa County, Ala., March 24th, 1842, died October 13th, 1842."2

She was the tenth of the eleven children the tree gives her parents, the last being a son, Sellers, born in 1845.3 Kate Grayson's letter counts twelve children of her father, two of them by his first wife, and ends its list with Laura Virginia; it says that her parents reared "12 children (11, I should have said, as one died in infancy)."4 Inference Laura Virginia, who died in the year she was born, is probably the child the letter means.4 The tree places her burial in the Nixburg Cemetery, and a Find a Grave memorial to her is indexed, though the index citation gives no dates.5 Her parents, the letter says, were buried "in the old cemetery at the Protestant Methodist church in sight of their loved home."6
