 * The will of James Robison does not mention his wife and does appoint a guardian for his five youngest children.  This would seem to imply that [[Elizabeth Means]] died prior to 1844.  She appears to still be present in the 1840 census.

-* In the 1820 census for Butler Co. only two families headed by Robinsons have been found.  Both Samuel Robinson in Muddy Creek Twp., age 26-45, and  John Robinson, in Center Twp., age >45, could possibly be our James' father.  Our James Robison would be age 20-30 in 1820.    Neither family lists a male in the age range for James.<br>  There are three Means families in Muddy Creek Twp. but only one, headed by Thomas Means, has a female of the right age for Elizabeth.  Thomas Means is age >44; our Elizabeth means would be age 10-20 in 1820.  Thomas Means has a daughter age 10-15.  We have no primary data beyond census location to support these persons as relatives of our Robinson and Means families.
