The Robinson Cemetery is located in the J. Love abstract in Freestone County, Texas just north of Tehuacana Creek. The family cemetery is on a 1.66 acre tract originally part of the Robinson plantation and deeded to their youngest child, Sallie Hope Robinson Bonner. It is now owned by Michael Edd Bonner, great-great grandson of James and Eliza Bonner Robinson. The cemetery is inaccessible to the public. It is said that when their son Samuel died in 1859, Tehuacana Creek was too high for a safe crossing and burial in the Bonner Cemetery on the opposite bank, so James and Eliza began their on "burying ground" near their home.
(Information in parentheses was added by Michael Edd Bonner.)
(The tombstone for James & Eliza Robinson is an old-fashioned double stone; it sits between their graves with the information engraved on the corresponding sides.)
