S/O JOHN & JENNY (??) ROBERTSON
H/O MARY ANNA (TRACY)
JAMES DAVID WAS ONE OF THE FIRST WHITE SETTLERS TO COME TO RICHLAND, SEARCY COUNTY, AR IN 1830. THE INDIANS STILL OCCUPIED THE TERRITORY AT THAT TIME. tHERE WERE FIVE WHITE FAMILIES WEST OF YELLVILLE, AR, AND ONLY THREE OTHER SETTLERS LIVING ON THE CREEK WHICH THEY NAMED RICHLAND. THE VALLEY WAS MATTED WITH CANE, WITH VINES SO THICK THEY COULD HARDLEY RIDE THROUGH.
IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS, MORE RELITIVES AND SETTLERS CAME; THE NEIBOURS HELPED ONE ANOTHER AT HOG-KILLINGS AND HOUSE-RAISINGS. THEY BUILT THEIR FIRE-PLACES WITH CHIMNEYS SO LARGE THAT THEY COULD SIT AROUND THE HEARTH AND COUNT THE STARS, LOOKING OUT THEIR CHIMNEY TOPS. THERE WAS NOTHING TO BE HAD UNLESS IT WAS RAISED OR MADE AT HOME- CLOTHES, HATS, EVEN SHOES.
JAMES DAVID ROBERTSON REARED HIS CHILDREN IN RICHLAND VALLEY, GIVING UP TWO SONS TO THE CIVIL WAR, AND BURIED ONE WHO DROWNED IN THE BUFFALO RIVER.
HE WAS ACTIVE IN THE MASONIC LOUGE AND INVOLVED IN THE LAWS OF SEARCY COUNTY. SERVING AS COUNTY JUDGE 1842-1844. HE WAS A LANDOWNER, AND HE MADE OUT HIS WILL IN NOVEMBER, 1875, PERHAPS, FEELING THAT HIS LIFE WAS NEAR ITS CLOSE. HE IS BURIED AT HALL CEMETERY IN SEARCY COUNTY, AR. ONLY A SANDSTONE MARKES HIS GRAVE AND HIS WIFE ANNA (TRACY) ROBERTSON
THIS STORY IS TAKEN FROM THE "ENTWINED" ROBERTSON AND RUFF FAMILY HISTORY BY VONCEIL (RUST) ROBERTSON WRITTEN NOV 1983.
I MADE FEW MODIFICATIONS TO THE ENTWINED STORY
ONLY SAND STONES MARK HIS AND ANNA'S GRAVES
