* The source for information on Elizabeth Means was  John Theodore "Ted" Robison (1904-2005), who is the son of John Trembly Robison, who is the son of William David Robison, who is the son of James and Elizabeth Means. Ted's father, John Trembly Robison, wrote notes on the family in about 1930, including the following:
 +
*  "Elizabeth Means, born in Ireland, married to James Robison and lived with him in Pennsylvania.  Their children were William Robison, John Robison, James Robison, Robert Robison, Joseph Robison and Margaret Robison.  Date of birth, marriage and death unknown." 
 +
* In at least one census, son William lists his father's birthplace as "Ireland" and his mother's as "Pennsylvania"--so it could be that Elizabeth was actually born in Pennsylvania.
