Notes:
Joseph ROBINETTE came to the U.S. about 1824. He was a Fur Trader and a Blacksmith.
His "Intent" papers were August 7,1848 at Prairie du Chien. He was working as a Blacksmith
at the Lower Sioux Agency when the Sioux uprising took place. He was killed there.
There is a story that he made knives and tomahawks for the Indians. His daughter, Mary
ROBINETTE ROSE said that Little Crow came to Joseph's house that morning of the uprising to
get a tomahawk that Joseph made for him. Mary said she went to the trunk where her father had
put it and gave it to Little Crow. Before he left he told her "my heart is sad". Mary and
her siblings were taken captive.
