"Samuel Robinson told the story about taking the salt that was mined in the area to Pittsburgh. The trip would be made in the Fall or Spring to trade the salt for shoes, sugar, yard goods, coffee and other articles the families needed. Many times the weather would turn bad and Sam would leave the boat in Pittsburgh and walk home. This trip would usually take a week to ten days.
When the barges would have to stop over night at Hillville the men would stay at Samuel and Rachel Robinson's or the Nan Davis boarding lodge. The men were given the beds and the children slept on the floor. Once when there wasn't enough food to feed the hungry men Mrs. Robinson opened her canned tomatoes and cooked up a big kettle of soup."

"John Robinson gave the land at the end of the township road to the Robinson heirs as a family cemetery. John was a bachelor and always said he had no one to whom he should leave his land so it was given as a resting place for those who would come after him. He carved his own headstone which can still be seen in the cemetery. For many years the graves and the land were cared for by Robinson kin and in later years grandchildren and cousins took over the task. Currently the cemetery is maintained by Harold and Lois Robinson. In 1961 the upper portion was given to the Robinsons by Ralph McGinnis of Pittsburgh, who owned the adjoining property. In return for the land Ralph and Louise asked that a fence be erected on the upper part of his property adjoining the cemetery fence. On a warm, sunny week-end the Robinsons gathered together and erected the fence which sets off the property from the rest of the land. Over the years many trees have been removed, ground leveled and grass planted.
An Association for the care and management of the cemetery was formed in March 1979. Named to serve as the Board of Directors were Harold Robinson, Treasurer; Lois Robinson, Secretary; Arthur Vasbinder, Walker Lynch, Warren Conner and Mark C. Robinson, members of the Board."

"Samuel Robinson married Rachel Sybert, bought three acres of land from his father, Arthur W. Robinson, on September 18, 1876, and built his home beside his brother's. When the basement was dug a site of Indian campfires was discovered. Arrow heads, clay pots and other artifacts were uncovered, lending credence to the fact that the area had at one time been an Indian campground. Samuel and Rachel had eleven children - Addison, Dewey, Walker, Harry, Clement, Samuel, Jr., Edwrad, Alice, Lovena, Margaret and Elizabeth. Quite a family - seven boys and four girls. As the children grew to adulthood their lives followed different paths."

--------------------
Samuel stayed in the village and married Rachel Seybert of Seybertown. He farmed the land, built boats, and worked on the river. He told the story of going to Pittsburgh by boat and having to walk home, taking two and a half weeks to complete the journey, because the ice got too thick to return by boat.
Samuel had 11 children: Addison, who worked on the railroad and married Margaret Jordan; Dewey, who worked in Butler, married Viola Rankin and had Charles, Richard, Georgina and adopted daughter Dorothy Rankin Rosequist; Harry, who worked in the mines and was killed at 23, leaving his wife Ida Conner Robinson and two children, Samuel and Louise; Samuel, Jr., who was a telegrapher for the railroad and was killed in France in World War I; Clement, who worked in Pittsburgh and married Ruth Lawrence; Edward, a miner who lived in Dutch Hill, married L. Krible, and had Harvey, Roy, Ada, and Florence; Alice, who lived in Waynesburg, married H. Berry Hill (sic), and had Sam, George, Margaret, Mary, Nelda, and Stella; Levena, who lived in McDonald, wife of William Lynch and mother of Addison, Margaret, Mary, Stella, Lynford, Walker, Samuel, and Carl; Elizabeth, who married Lewis Buzard, had Lewis, Jr., and Bessie, and lived in Sarah Furnace and Upper Hillville; Margaret, wife of the East Brady barber William Vasbinder, and mother of Iona and Arthur, who was a dentist in East Brady; Walker, who lived in Hillville, worked in the coal mines, in heavy construction, and for Pennsylvania Coal Products in Petrolia. After his first wife Esther Krieble and three children died, he married Elizabeth Bohler of Pittsburgh and had Raymond, Erma, Harold, Marian, and Walker, Jr., who died at birth."
"Flatboats built in Hillville were "skidded" into the river and taken downstream to Pittsburgh. There was a grist mill located on Armstrong Run where people took their grain to be ground. A shoemaker came to the village in spring and fall, stayed at the Samuel W. Robinson home, and repaired or made shoes for the villagers. When his work was completed he would harness up his horse and buggy and move on to the next village."
