Malcom M 13, Ailey E. 11, Harmon R 9, Andrew M. 7, John V. 4, Johnathan A. 1, and William G. age 5 months.
Ailey E. would appear to be Ailsey, the first wife - there was an Ailsey age 4 in another Eppler family living nearby. John & Jonathan would seem to be the boys living with the Robinsons in 1860. One can't help but wonder if the Robertson/Robinson and Eppler families had known each other in Tennessee/Missouri.

Female children: W. A. age 2, E. J. age 1, M. F. age 3

[This is no doubt the 1st wife, called "Lizzie Eppler" by Mary Keeton Allen Robinson, since there are two young Eppler boys living with the family. The initials of the girls match those named in 1870.]

From Mary Robinson's testimony for Pension:
I was a widow about two years when I married Wiley Snell Robinson. He died near Wilburton OK about 1905-1906. His wagon was struck by a train; he lived about a year after he was run over but his mind was not right. We lived near Wilburton 4 or 5 years. Before going to OK we lived near Cauthron AR on a farm owned by Mr. Robinson. I had one son with Robinson, William J., now living near Wilburton. Mr. Robinson has one sister, Jane married to a Mackey, and a brother Asel Robinson living near Hackett City or Salem AR. [This brother was Acel Cross Robinson found in Scott Co in 1860 & 1880 - he's buried Pleasant Grove Cemetery, Scott Co - born, 8 Apr 1832 and died 30 Jun 1899.] He was married three times before marrying me - first to Lizzie Eppler, then to Ann McCallep & third to Jane of Sarah Showery - they are all dead. He had children by all of them: Martha wife of Thomas McKean, lives in OK - by the 1st wife; Jim [James M.] & Jess [Samuel J.] Robinson of Cabiness & Foster OK by the 2nd wife; George by the 3rd wife - lives some place in OK.
