A Sketch of the Life of Hyrum Charles and Macy Brown Robinson

by Stewart C. Robinson

Hyrum Charles Robinson was born Oct. 12, 1882 in Pinto Washington co., Utah to Richard Smith Robinson and Mary Ann Eccles Robinson, a polygamist family.

Richard and Mary Ann had been living in Pinto for many years, having been called to help colonize the Dixie country. In 1875, the Robinson’s were called to move to Sink Valley in Kane county, where they ran a dairy. We do not know for positive why Mary Ann went back to Pinto when Hyrum was born, unless it was because she wanted to be with her mother at the time the baby was born. Because the records show he was born at Pinto and also that the family was living at Sink Valley, very little is known about the growing up years of Hyrum. We have been told he had very little education, about fourth grade level. From there on, he was self-taught.
