J.E. Sisk 1820 → Martha Elizabeth Sisk 1851 → Martha married Frank Robinson, making her a sibling to OS Lanham’s grandmother, CSM Sisk.

Frank Robinson ^[1] was born before 1855, at ___. ^[2] ^[3]

Frank married Martha (Mattie) Elizabeth SISK ^[2] ^[1] after Aug 1870 (the census showed her at home), and before 1880 (the census shows her not with her Mother’s household). ^[4] ^[5]

It appears that they married 18 Jul 1876 in , Franklin, Tennessee ^[6]. If this John F. Robbinson goes by Frank, and if Ella’s spouse spelled his name wrong as Roberson ^[1] This conclusion needs confirmation by other sources.

Mattie was born 08 Apr 1851. ^[7] She died on 28 Jan 1920 in Royce City, Rockwall, Texas. ^[7] She was buried on 29 Jan 1920 in Nevada Cemetery, Nevada, Texas. ^[7]
