| Origin Roberson |   |
Volunteer Enlistment form shows Origin born in Crawford, IN. He has light hair, hazel eyes, a "florid" complexion, and 5 ft. 7 in. tall. When he was 19 he went to Evansville and volunteered for the Army and because he had his own horse and saddle he was placed in the Cavalry and paid forty cents a day extra for having his own horse and equipment. On his enlistment application he gave his name as Origin Roberson, and gave his place of birth as Crawford, County Indiana. After his years of military service, which ended with eleven months in a Confederate Prison where he became very ill and almost died, he was discharged without medical treatment. He signed out of service as Origin Robinson, a name that the military often used according to his records. He weighed only 80 pounds, had scurvy, diarrhea and the piles. He had no home to go to, his horse and saddle were gone, where would he go? He was sick and alone in the world, no father, and his mother had bound him out as a boy. His feeling of loneliness and rejection must have been at a high point at that time. The only two people in the world he could turn to was his mother Elizabeth and his foster father, Temple Woolsey in the Lockhart Township of Pike County and that is where he went. Where he went and with whom he lived we do not know but we do know from his own writing that he was unable to work from 1865 to 1870 and that he was under the care of Dr. De Lar and Dr. Agee in the Lockhart Township during that time.
