In 1772, Michael and Mary Robinson sold their house in Fredericksburg, Virginia, to George Washington. He purchased the house for his mother, Mary Washington. Mrs. Washington received in her house from time to time not only her son George Washington but also George Mason, Thomas Jefferson, John Marshall, several of the Lees, and General Lafayette.In 1826, John Waller Robinson, the great grandson of Michael and Mary, immigrated with his family to the then new state of Missouri. The journey was performed in the only way then practicable, overland, the old-fashioned emigrant wagons covered with canvas, top loaded with provisions for man and beast, containing the cooking utensils, bedding and such other housekeeping conveniences as have to be transported to a primitive country. Having the whole state before him, he selected, for a farm, land about seven miles north of Fulton, in Callaway County, Missouri.About 600 French Huguenots came to Virginia in the years around 1700.
