Description
(excerpted from longer article about Maggie J. Robinson) - - "Mom" is a native of Kansas City, Kansas, a member of a pioneer family of that city and of the Quindaro section of the town.
Her father, George Robinson, was a slave in Platte County, Missouri, and through his own ingenuity and daring, he escaped from bondage into neighboring Wyandotte County, Kansas, settling first in Quindaro. Later, he rescued his wife and two sons from slavery and brought up his family in free Kansas.
(Researcher’s note: It appears The Call newspaper tended to stylistically report that a former slave was a “pioneer.”)Date(s) of Creation
