ROBINETTE
Edie Robinette Petrachi ( edie_petrachi@yahoo.com) 16 Sept, 2003
I have tracked down many grave sites at Oakwood, of my Robinette relatives. They are original settlers coming into town in 1864 and staying possibly until the present. Jeremiah , my Great Grand Uncle, brother of Andrew, my Great Grandfather, had land patents given to him after the Civil War. His land was what is now the Katy Yards. Apart from that info, I have not found much else on my family; Jeremiah (Jerry) and his wife Mary and 7 children. Are there any living Robinette's still in Labette County? How can I find photos of them? How can I find evidence that they did business and went to school?

We know that Robert and Nora were married March 1,1888 in McDonald County MO and moved to OK, Indian Territory where William's sister Anna Mae Robertson was born Aug, 2, 1882.
