Robert Lewis Dabney (1820-1898)—a major figure in 19th century Southern Presbyterianism—was born on March 5, 1820 in Louisa County, Virginia, as the sixth child of Charles and Elizabeth Dabney.

For some quick background info: Charles Hodge was born in Philadelphia to a family of Scotch-Irish descent on December 27, 1797 in the aftermath of two Yellow Fever epidemics which claimed the lives of several of his older siblings.
While Charles was still a baby, his father, Hugh, a prominent physician in Philadelphia, died from complications from the 1795 Yellow Fever epidemic, and he was raised by his godly mother, Mary.
