9:881 John Robnett, pioneer of Wayne County, Tenn, was born in the Palmetto State [South Carolina] in
1804, and is a son of John and Margaret (Nesbitt) Robnett, natives of Delaware and South Carolina,
respectively. They came to Tennessee in 1816, and were the second family that located in Wayne
County. The father farmed until his death which occurred about 1824. His wife died in 1819. The
father took for his second wife a lady by the name of Farris, who died in 1831. John Robnett, our
subject resided with his step-mother two years after his father's death, when he moved on his present
farm of 1300 acres. In 1828 he married Nancy Staggs, daughter of Joseph and Fannie (Nesbitt) Staggs,
and their union has been blessed in the birth of ten children: Joseph N., John, Cynthia , Fannie,
James, Margaret, Jane, Jeremiah, Neal S. and Ellender. Mr. Robnett is now eighty-two years old, but
bids for to live many years yet. He vividly remembers many incidents of pioneer life, and the
hardships, with which the early settlers were obliged to contend, in the settlement of the county. In
politics he is a stanch Republican, and furnished two sons for the Union Army. His wife is a member
of the Christian Church.
