The land was originally surveyed on Virginia Treasury Warrant No. 11,813 on 1 Feb 1783, granted by Gov. Patrick Henry of VA to Robinson on 9 Jun 1788 at Mercer (now Franklin) Co., KY. He emigrated in 1789 from Bourbon Co., KY; "Removed from Fayette to Bourbon County, Kentucky. Became a tobacco planter and farmer."

He signed a petition of sundry inhabitants, urging the Virginia House of Delegates to remove mill dam obstructions from the waters of Licking River, the South Fork of Licking River, and Stoner's Creek on 22 Oct 1790 at Bourbon Co., KY.

Removed from Bourbon County to his 291-acre farm on South Benson Creek in Franklin County, about seven miles southwest of Frankfort, Kentucky.

"He was granted 416 acres on Paint Lick Creek on 11 Mar 1795 at Madison Co., KY.

Magill, as guardian of Mary Jane Robinson, infant under 14, daughter of Robert Robinson, the lately deceased husband of his daughter, Mary Magill Robinson in 1820. He met General Lafayette at a reception for the great Frenchman on 13 May 1825 at Frankfort, KY. He published his book, "The Pioneer to the Kentucky Emigrant," one of the rarest pieces of Kentuckiana. So far as is known there are only three copies of this book in existence. There are copies in the Filson Club, New York Historical Society, and the University of Pittsburgh libraries. The book was published in 1832 at the newspaper office of James. B. Marshall of Frankfort, Kentucky. There were eighty?four pages in the original text, and the volume was bound in paper."

The preface to his book read, "This volume will give a topographical and historical description of Kentucky, interspersed with interesting adventures of the heroic backwoodsmen ~ It will contain a condensed account of the campaigns against the Indians from Virginia and Kentucky, since the year 1774 ~ Also a short sketch of the principal incidents, in the lives of the distinguished individuals, for whom the different counties have been called; a brief outline of those counties; the water courses on which they lie; their courses and distances from Frankfort, the seat of government; compiled from actual observation, and collected from the most authentic sources."

"In this book-making age, when man's invention is tortured to portray, under the east and delightful garb of Fiction, the feelings and emotions which dwell in the human breast, and which form the general composition of character, it may not seem entirely irrelevant in an old pioneer, to 'cast upon the water' his 'little book,' in which are marked down the observations of a long life, spent in continued action. In writing out the following notices of his recollections, but little regard has been paid to euphony, (as Sir Pierce Shafton hath it), which the light publications, that flood the country, and with which the press is now teeming, have indelibly stamped on modern literature. It has been his constant effort to adhere to truth, and never, in a single instance, has he deviated from the rule he prescribed to pursue. In the narrative with which he has interspersed his work, miraculous adventures may be cited; but let it be remembered that the times were by no means ordinary, and although, it is not the province of history to indulge in the wonderful; yet, it is not departing from its character, to throw light upon the singular prowess and deeds of daring accomplished by the extraordinary and heroic men who constituted 'the Pioneers of the West.' It may be, that he is mistaken in the general utility of his book. He hopes it will prove interesting and instructive. For the inaptitude of the diction or of his powers for the task, he throws himself on a generous public. ? The Author" in 1832 at Frankfort, KY. , He was 73 when he applied for a Revolutionary pension, and received $23.33 per annum on 17 Sep 1832 at Franklin Co., KY. , He sued the heirs of his brother Hugh Magill for one?half the proceeds for sale of 156 acres he originally patented. The defendant heirs, nieces and nephews and others, were scattered and could not be brought together so the suit was continued, amended year after year, until dismissed Dec 1840 in 1836 at Lincoln Co., KY.
