According to the 1880
MO census, Flaura married a man named Schultz, who was born in
Germany. He is assumed already dead by 1880, as Flaura was living with her
parents with her two sons Theodore Shoultz b: 1877 and Julius Shoultz b:
1879 on the Camden County, MO census.
Bernetta was obviously named for the sister of her
mother, Mary Ellen Beem. She was already married by the 1880 census to
Edmond
Thomas Wilkerson of Camden County, MO. Edmond was a
first cousin to Zachariah, and Amanda Jane mentioned
later......
Sinclair was found on the 1880 Camden County MO
Census, age 20, and in 1910 with his family, wife Rosa, son Ira Robertson b:
1886
daughter, Effie Robertson b: 1891
and son William Robertson b:
1899
Sometime later, "Sinc" (as he was referred to in a
sister's obituary) moved to OK.
Ida
married Zachariah
Wilkerson after the 1880 census was taken. He was a cousin to the
husband of Burnetta (this gets confusing....)
Mag, Margaret Ellen Robertson, married Albert Palmer
Rowland, (or Rollins), son of Amanda
Jane Wilkerson and Peter Warden P. ROWLAND . Amanda
Jane was a sister to Zachariah. (I told you it gets
confusing....)
Only recently I had the pleasure of hearing from a
descendant of Mary Robertson - elusive to me
for many years. How many blanks were filled in for me. Thank you so much,
Robert Burns!

Mary Angeline Robertson married Moses Berry. They
migrated to MT. They had children, James, Burnetta and another daughter.
Family history passed down from older generations,
says one of the girls married a man maybe named Albert ? Ash. Wes
Wilkerson said it was Flaura, so it probably was. No
record yet.
These are the only children of record. There may
have been others. This is the only place we have found the name Sinclair,
or Sinnclair E., as it was spelled on the 1910 census. However, it is
interesting to note, Mary Ellen Beem's sister, Burnetta, married a man by
the name of
Early St. Claire.
The court records in Camden County MO burned
about 1910, and most were destroyed. A few were left, but the lack of
marriage records, etc. has made it difficult to research these sisters.
However, some of these families are believed to have moved to Cleveland
county, OK. Relatives remembered going to visit them. They had
recollections of "Aunt Mag" , at least in converstions. Their father,
Wash, is buried there. But we haven't found a record as yet on any of the
rest of them.
Charles Frank Robertson
was believed to have
remained single, however, a marriage record shows he married Stella
Crocker in 1919. I don't know what happened there, if she died, or they
had children. But he lived alone all the time I knew of him. His
great-nephew told me when he went to get Uncle Frank to take him to OK
from MO, he was living in a small shack near the river, eating "hardtack".
He lived very simply as well, in my own recollections.That must have been
the late 1940's or early 1950's. He had no immediate family when he lived
in Meeker, OK. Just his sister, Ida. I remember the time an Oklahoma
tornado blew him, and the rocking chair he was sitting in into a ditch as
it blew the house away! He had hidden $75 in a can, and it was never
found. His sister, Ida's house was blown away at the same time. He died a
few years later, before Ida. She was believed to have been the last living
relative of her family. At least that is what was said at Uncle Frank's
funeral by other relatives. It still makes me sad to remember the way this
tough, weathered little woman sobbed at his funeral as she approached his
coffin. I had never seen her cry before, and I never saw her cry
again.
