Robinson was born in Wadesboro, North Carolina. He was the sixth of eight children of Tod and Martha Ann (Terry) Robinson of Anson County. He later moved to Alabama, and in 1836 was the captain of a company of infantry.〔(Alabama Pioneers )〕 Following the resignation of Alabama delegate John Gill Shorter in November 1861, Robinson was elected to fill vacancy.
