See Newsclippings and other biographical sketches. Archie was a farmer and they lived near Wadesville, Clarke Co. Va. on three farms at different times during their lives. The last farm they occupied was bought by their grandsons Jack Robinson and Archie McKay upon the death of their oldest daughter Becky. It was written in his will that the farm would remain in operation during Becky's lifetime as a source of income for her since she was unable to care for her self. In 1980, Jack Robinson and Archie McKay sold the farm to someone else. The house on the farm later fell into disrepair and even caught fire once after the sale. It along with the other buildings no longer stand today. The farmland itself now mostly consists of field grass and is being converted into a housing development. Archie and Eva also lived in Gainesboro in their early years. According to Hinshaw's Quaker records Archie was "recieved by request" into Hopewell MM on 8 7mo 1897. Issue: Robinson
