History: The earliest known citizens of the Robersonville area were the Tuscarora and Morotock Indians. We know that settlers lived here many years before the Revolutionary War according to Deeds, Family Bibles, Wills and Church Records. One of the earliest known Churches of the area was Flat Swamp Primitive Baptist Church, founded in 1776. Among the early settlers of this area was the family of Henry Robason, who is said to have been born in 1710 in England. Eventually the family name became "Roberson" and the family tree grew throughout this region.
