Born on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, Robinson was relocated with his family to Sussex County, Delaware in 1779 when just a small boy. Between 1787 and 1793 his father died and left Robinson his 250 acre plantation, which the young man sold and traveled to beautiful Western Maryland where he settled for life.

Robinson T. Savage was the first school teacher in Western Maryland. He was a friend and neighbor of Meshack Browning. Meshack was a famous pioneer hunter and outdoorsman. His flintlock rifle rests in the Smithsonian. In Meshack's book, Forty- four Years of The Life of A Hunter, a tome about his many exploits, he tells about he and Robinson being together in the War of 1812. They volunteered, were appointed sergeants and marched off to Baltimore.

Robinson T. Savage, Senior. ( I do not identify this Robinson as “III” because of the known middle initial, T, which may have been used by Robinson, Sr. and Robinson, Jr., but I have no proof that it was. I assume the initial was for, “Thomas”. Robinson T. named a son, Robinson T. and I have designated the two of them, Sr. and Jr.) Robinson T. Savage had two older sisters; Margaret “Peggy” Savage Coleman (John) and Nancy Savage Argo (William). -RBS- Born 1774, Accomack Co. Va. Relocated with family to Sussex Co. Del. in 1779.
