"There is no Death, only a change of Worlds" Chief Seattle
















Hi, Welcome to my site, My little corner of the world. The story of the Robinson’s and the Payne’s 
and the people that surround them. The Robinson, Payne union occurred in South Carolina where many 
of the offspring still live.
   South Carolina the land of “Smiling faces-Beautiful places”. Where there are only two seasons, 
Hot and Cold and they can both be in the same week. Where Spring and Fall are seasons you hear 
about but seldom experience. Where Iced Tea is the State Wine and the only foods of choice that 
aren’t fried are Bar-be- que and Ham, with Ham being fried when served for Breakfast. We do say 
Ya’ll when speaking of more than one, we don’t squat, 
we “hunker down” our directions probably will not have a road name or number but rather will be 
laced with such as “just after you pass Bubba’s Bar and Grill you gonna see a little dirt road on 
the left”. And an angry Lady will not stoop to profanity laced tirades she will only say something 
similar to “Bless his Heart he never has been just right in the head.”
    I’m proud to be a South Carolina Native as are all of my friends. People from all over the 
world visit our Beaches and although we only have a handful of them, our Mountains are also 
Spectacular. However it is the people that make South Carolina. Their lifestyle filled with back 
yard cookouts, sporting events, car races, hunting and fishing. Their love and respect for their 
neighbors, I could fill several pages but I won’t. I hope some day you have a chance to visit my 
home but until then, I hope you enjoy my site. Stop in visit awhile and drop me a line and tell me 
how I can improve and as we would say in my home “Ya’ll come back real soon”.

Robinson-Knight Slideshow




THEY ARE NOT DEAD WHO LIVE 
IN THE HEARTS THEY LEFT BEHIND.














When I was a child, most of Mother's family  were buried in White Bluff Bapt. Ch. Cem. There 
were a lot of them with rocks for Headstones and Mother knew who was under each one. Not only 
did she know, but she felt it her duty to  pass this information on. She led Verna and Me 
around the Cem. And  pointed out each one. She would say,"Now this is where your Great-
Grandfather, Marion is buried and this is where your Great-Grandmother, Margaret is buried. Now 
don't forget." And I tried, really I did. [at the time, Verna didn't care who was under what 
rock. She just knew it was hot out there and there was a nice shade tree beside the Church.] 
When I became a young man, I once again became a member of White Bluff and like my Mother, I 
developed the habit of walking the Graveyard and paying my respects. I found that my Mother had 
taught me a reverence for Cemeteries and a respect for family, but I confess, I still don't 
know who is under what rock. That's when my genealogy quest began to ferment. I guess the 
thinking is, I can't show them to you but I can tell you about them. When I became interested 
in Genealogy, I tried to get Verna to share my enthusiasm but found to my dismay that she still 
didn't care who was under which rock. It took about ten years to get her interested, but when 
she finally came around she was off and running. I've been trying to keep up ever since. 
Without Verna, all of my work would be a few pages of wrinkled paper in a drawer somewhere. She 
is the one that keeps me motivated and organized, not to mention doing most of the actual 
typing.As I find myself in my twilight years, my big sister still has me by the 
hand and is leading the way. And I wouldn't have it any other way. Here you will find the 
Families of Gladys Almetta Payne and Clarence Edgar Robinson, plus the surnames of the people 
their families married into. Here you will find Ministers, Lawyers, Teachers, Nurses,Craftsmen, 
Police, Laborers, Journalist, Tradesmen and any other Occupation Imaginable. You will find 
people of many different Faiths, Backgrounds, Ethnic Origins, and Cultures. You will find 
people that have reached the pinnacle of success and others that have struggled to survive. We 
love them all equally. We are equally proud of each. We all share a common blood, That’s called 
“family” and we don’t judge family, we embrace them.  I hope you will find the information 
interesting and helpful. I'm sure there are some mistakes on this site, so I urge you to seek 
confirmation of the information here. I also urge you to notify me when you find mistakes so 
that I can make corrections immediately.
