Orphaned at an early age, Clint Barton was sent to a children's home with his brother Bernard. Running away to join a traveling circus, the pair worked as roustabouts. While a member of the circus, Clint was trained by the original Swordsman and by Trick Shot.
Witnessing Iron Man in action, Barton attempted to emulate him by donning a colorful costume and employing his archery skills to fight crime. However, during his first public appearance, Hawkeye was mistaken for a thief by police and found himself actually fighting Iron Man.
Soon, the Black Widow enlisted him as her partner. Although he became romantically involved with her, he was unhappy being a criminal. When he approached the Avengers and told them of his desire to reform, Iron Man sponsored his membership on the team.
Barton formed, along with Captain America, Scarlet Witch and her brother Quicksilver, an incarnation of the Avengers known as "Cap's Kooky Quartet." This was the lineup that succeeded the original after the four remaining founders all took indefinite leaves of absence. This team was at first regarded as less formidable than the previous roster, but soon proved themselves against the likes of such as Kang the Conqueror and Doctor Doom. Hawkeye was an active member of the Avengers for years, with his archery skills and inventive trick arrows augmenting the superhuman powers of his associates. His carefree and rebellious personality meant that he sometimes argued with Captain America, but their teamwork never faltered when faced by outside threats.
For a short time, Barton abandoned his Hawkeye identity, and taking Hank Pym's growth serum, operated under the name Goliath. He resumed his Hawkeye identity after briefly being the Golden Archer soon after. He has taken several extended leaves of absence from the Avengers, trying to establish a career for himself outside of the group.
During one of his leaves of absence from the Avengers, Barton was security chief for Cross Technological Enterprises. He met and eloped with Bobbi Morse, a.k.a. fellow crime fighter Mockingbird at this time. Another person he met while at Cross was Jorge Latham, who would design his Sky-Cycle. It was also during this time that he and Mockingbird were kidnapped by Crossfire, a villain who wanted to use hypnotic ultrasounds to force superheroes to kill each other. Hawkeye and Mockingbird defeated Crossfire, but Barton suffered permanent hearing damage due to the ultrasounds, and for a long time was forced to wear a hearing aid. Eventually Franklin Richards cured him of this injury.

I honestly don't know where you're getting your information on the Robins, considering Jason Todd was from the comics. He first showed up in the early 80s, was killed by the Joker, and subsequently resurrected as the Red Hood. He was the second of five Robins pre-reboot: d**k Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Stephanie Brown, and Damian Wayne. Post-reboot, he's still the second of three: d**k, Jason, and Damian, since Scott Lobdell is a moron who doesn't pay attention to anything and for some reason DC hates Stephanie Brown despite her being a great character.
There are...endless comics supporting this, if that's solely where you're getting your canon from. He was also mentioned in Earth-31 (Frank Miller's) continuity, a lot of 'The Search for Ray Palmer' mentioned Jason in pretty much every universe, and he was mushed together with Tim (his personality, Tim's name and costume) for B:TAS. He has also had a movie of his own, based on the 'Under the Hood' arc that depicted his return: 'Under the Red Hood'. There was also a mini-arc about him called 'Red Hood: Lost Days' that detailed his death and return a little better.
Currently, Jason is in his own (sadly terrible and OOC) comic called 'Red Hood and the Outlaws', which also includes flashbacks to his Robin days in volume...two or three, I believe.
Not sure if you were trolling or not about that particular point, but I just wanted to put that out there. Jason was a Robin. His history is very well-documented. He's not Steph (or Tim, now), in the position to have his history argued--and neither are they, but that's DC's problem, not mine--so there is no doubt in his history at all that he was Robin.
If you want, I can also link you other people's essays on the Robins if you don't want to take my word for it.
Have a nice day/night/whatever time it is for you.
