Robert Sanford Dawkins appears in Public Member Trees posted on ancestry.com. He is listed in the 1880 and 1900 Census data for Slate, Wood Co., WV; the 1910 Census data for Tygart District Magisterial (resided on Division Street), Wood Co., WV; the 1920 Census data for Parkersburg (resided at 906 Avery Street), Wood Co., WV; and the 1930 Census data for Huntington (resided at 216 Richmond Street), Cabell Co., WV. His WWI and WWII draft registration cards are available.
Robert Sanford Dawkins, born 8 Sep 1877 in Mineral Wells, Wood Co., WV, died 21 Mar 1961 in Huntington, Cabell Co., WV, was the son of a farmer, William Dawkins (1833-), and Harriet A. Page (1840-). Robert was employed as a traveling salesman for a grocery wholesaler. On 29 Jun 1898, he married Jessie May Cooper, born 20 Feb 1879 in Parkersburg, Wood Co., WV, died 3 Aug 1915 in Parkersburg, Wood Co., WV, the daughter of James Leonard Cooper (1851-1938) and Roma E. Compton (1856-). Robert and Jessie had five children: Paul Harry Dawkins (1899-1977), Ethel Garnet Dawkins (1900-1902), Benjamin "Ben" Franklin Dawkins (1903-1961), Herman L. Dawkins (1905-1962), and Robert Jackson "Jack" Dawkins (1907-1992). On 16 Apr 1929, Robert married Donnie Bernice Surgeon, born 22 Feb 1897 in Lincoln Co., WV, died Jul 1975 in Huntington, Cabell Co., WV, the daughter of William Hudson Surgeon (1859-1922) and Florida Ann Winters (1857-1946). She is probably the woman named Betty in photo 4. I assume the man named Paul in photos 5 & 6 is Paul Harry Dawkins; he bears a close resemblance to his father.
