**********************************************************************

Robert F. Sullins, one of the early settlers of Franklin County, Mo.,
is the son of Joseph and Rebecca (Fogle) Sullins, natives of Kentucky
and Maryland, respectively.  When young both came to Missouri, and
located at St. Louis, when that city was but a village.  Here they
were married and here they remained until about 1840, when they came
to Franklin County, and settled on the farm on which our subject now
resides.  The father lived to be eighty-six years of age and the 
mother about ninety-four.  The former was a farmer by occupation, and
both he and wife were United Baptists.  He was a Democrat in politics
and was a soldier in the War of 1812.  Robert F. was one of seven 
children, two sons and five daughters.  He was born in St. Louis Coun-
ty, May 22, 1826 and while growing up received but a very limited ed-
ucation, never having attended school but six months altogether.  He
remained with his parents until their demise, and in 1853 was united
in marriage to Miss Emily Hiatt, who was born near Lexington, Ky., in
the year 1827.  Seven children were the result of this union: C. A.,
James A., Fannie, Amanda, Robert E., Lou and Richard J.  The second
child is a teacher, and is very successful in this occupation.  Mr.
Sullins is a Democrat in politics, and during the war served a short
time in the militia.  As a business man he has met with excellent
success, and now owns 280 acres of land.  For about forty-seven years
has been a resident of this county, and is well known as a man of in-
tegrity and honor.  He and wife are members of the United Baptist 
Church.  He is also a member of Union Lodge No. 173, A. F. & A. M.
