Amos Thomas Robinson1

b. 29 August 1869, d. 3 May 1947
Birth29 Aug 1869 Amos Thomas Robinson was born on 29 Aug 1869 in Hunt County, Texas.2,3 
Marriage20 Dec 1887 He married Margaret Matilda McCamant, daughter of William Graham McCamant and Susan Wells Sanders Gardner, on 20 Dec 1887 in Glen Rose, Somervell County, Texas.2,4 
  Amos and Margie spent the first 17+ years of their married life in Glen Rose where Amos was employed as a stone mason. All 7 of the couple's surviving children were born in Somervell County. The 1900 census indicated Margie had given birth to an additional child who was deceased. He or she was most likely born in the gap between Roy, born in late 1891 and Daniel, born in the summer of 1895.5 
Cens-191016 Apr 1910  In 1910 the family was enumerated in Stonewall County which lies several counties northwest of Somervell County. Amos was again employed as a stone mason.6 
Cens-192030 Jan 1920  In 1920 Margie and the couple's two youngest sons were enumerated back in Glen Rose. Amos also appears to have returned to Somervell County. He lived by himself and worked as a farmer.7 
Cens-19302 Apr 1930  Margie moved to the Dallas area prior to 1930 (she died there in 1931). Amos appears to have settled with his son Ray and his wife in Tom Green County where both men worked as cement plasters or finishers. Oddly, Amos was stated to be Ray's son-in-law rather than his son.8 
Cens-19401940  By 1835 (if not earlier) Amos had moved to Dallas where he rented a house on Tatum Street for $5 a month. The 1940 census asked each person how many years of schooling they had completed. Amos had finished 4th grade. He described himself as single although a different response had been entered prior to that and then marked out.

Sharing a home with Amos in 1940 were Hal (30) and Lillian (27) Green. Although they were identified as Amos' son-in-law and daughter-in-law, they were probably Amos' granddaughter and her husband.9 
Death3 May 1947 Amos died on 3 May 1947 in Dallas, Texas, at age 77.2,3 
Burial5 May 1947 He was buried on 5 May 1947 at Laurel Land Memorial Park in Dallas.3
