Formerly of Greene County, opened a hospital - effectively a rehabilitation center/hospice - at Blount Springs, likely the inspiration for Dr. Francis Louis Constantine’s founding of L’Orient there in 1872. He and his wife, Virginia S. Robinson (born Virginia Larkins, of Washington, D.C.), moved to Blount Springs in 1873 during a Birmingham cholera epidemic, settling at what came to be called Robinson Mountain. He died around 1893; she died on her 91st birthday, March 30, 1916, survived by daughters Helen Robinson and Lou Moore. Their son, Adrian Robinson, was Birmingham’s first town marshal and was killed in a political riot near Forkland.
