Called Uriah and also Robert, his death location is not yet confirmed but highly probable. His middle name Robinson is his mother's maiden surname.

In the 1860 census he's a newlywed with no children. They lived in Nicholas County, WV. Robert was 22 and Jane was 21. They lived next door to his parents.

As of 1880, Uriah was a farmer and Jane kept house. They had 8 children by then. They would eventually have 10.

The Bailey Copenhaver Archives website has his middle name listed as Robert. Uriah purchased 115 acres of land on Glade Creek in Nicholas County in 1851. (Deed Book 2, page 286; no copy on file.) He purchased 228 acres on McMillions Creek from Daniel Faulkner. He was still living in 1892 but apparently died sometime that year.

Robert had 2 other wives besides Jane. After Jane died in 1859, he married a Nancy (last name unknown) in 1876. He then married Elizabeth Florence Hedges 31 Dec 1892 in Nicholas, WV. Marriage certificates on file for Jane and Elizabeth.
