CROW, ROBINSON, SEVERS posted by Laura Cox on Monday, February 3, 1997

I am trying to solve a family mystery for my husband. His grandmother was Lillie ROBINSON, b. abt. 1900 from (?) Helena AK, Phelps Co. She had a sister, Lucy ROBINSON CROW. The story goes that their mother became addicted to morphine. Her parents put the two girls in an orphanage (both under 6 years) and took their mother home to somewhere in MO to recuperate. The mother supposedly returned to take back the girls, but they had been adopted. There is one marriage that make be possible. That is a William A. ROBINSON who married a Mrs. Sallie S. SEVERS 6/10/1885. If this is so, William would have been born abt. 1857, and Sallie b. abt 1864. Does this sound at all familiar to anyone?? Thanks in advance!
