Children of AMASA ROBINSON and ELIZA BIXLER are: i. HATTIE (HARRIET)4 ROBINSON, b. 30 Oct 1866, Jackson Co., Iowa40. ii. FREDERICK ROBINSON, b. Aug 1869, Jackson Co., Iowa; d. Bef. 1880.

Notes for FREDERICK ROBINSON: Frederick is shown with his family on the 1870 census, at age 10/12. He is not on the 1880 census. On the 1900 census his mother states that she had 7 children and only 6 are living at that time. Since Frederick is the missing child on the census reports, I feel that he died prior to 1880.
