ROBINSON by Eleanor Bardes 24 Feb 1990 ------------------------------------------------ The book "History of Cambridge" might also be helpful for your Watertown MA ROBINSON research since Watertown was once part of Cambridge. . I found a Sarah ROBINSON in my file. She may or may not be your Sarah. The information came from my mother's notes that she got from the book "History of Cambridge" by Lucuis R. Paige. Sarah was born on 3 OCT 1717 in ?Cambridge, Middlesex, MA. Her parents were Samuel and Elizabeth (she the daughter of Cpt. Samuel BRIGHAM of Marlboro). In 1721 Samuel ROBINSON moved to Westboro which is just east of Worcester. In 1725, Elizabeth's brother (Jedediah) was appointed guardian of Samuel ROBINSON's only surviving son. Does this mean all his childen (6) but one died or was he the only one young enough to need a guardian. I know nothing more about Sarah. . I vaguely remember reading some where that there were 2 ROBINSON famil ies in MA. One that I believe is mine and the other is the son of Rev. John ROBINSON the minister to the Pilgrims while they were in Holland. Rev. John died in England before the Pilgrims came over but his son did come on a later boat. I forget the son's name but there is a book on the decendants that I found in the library. . Perhaps all of this will give you some leads. I am afraid my Sarah is not concrete enough evidence for you. Let me know if you find some good ROBINSON leads. --- * Origin: The Mountain Top, It's all downhill from here!

On the Prodigy Genealogy Network, I have had contact with several people interested in that name. My late wife's g -mother was Kate A. Robinson of Ravenna, Oh. However, that line extends back into Pa. and Ireland. I would be glad to send you what I have if you would like. Also there is a Cindy Robinson of Philadelphia interested in the Robinsons in Pa. In addition, I will be getting some info from Patricia Graves of Fl. on the Rev. John Robinson of Pilgram fame. As a matter of fact, I have a 1967 newspaper clipping on him and the fact that the Pilgram story began in Holland in 1620. Also, Patricia is sending me some pages from the Robinson Genealogical Society publication, as the Society no longer exists. Then there is Mrs. C. N. (Aileen) Dugan who has Robinson info. She lives, not too far from you, I guess, at 6250 Masefield Ct., Alexandria, Va. Don't have her phone no. but I am sure she would be interested in hearing from you. She has a relative, Thomas Robinson, who was married in Va. Then in addition, today, I found in the Sun Cities Genealogical three pages of small print on the Family Robinson. This was from the Pennsylvania Genealogies and starts about the year 1730. If you would like any of the materials I have or receive, just let me know either on the network or drop a line to me: Jerry Margrave, 10126 Cumberland Dr., Sun City, Az. 85351. Also let me know your address either by note or on the board if you wish any of the material I have.

I have three generations of Robinsons in my genealogy. Unfortunately I gathered the information before I knew enough to document references. Do any of them show up in your research? 1. WILLIAM ROBINSON b. 1715 in Ireland called Scots-Irish came over with parents prior to 1734 and settled in Lancaster, PA m. MARGARET MCKINNEY and had children-William, Benjamin, Mckinney, Alexander & Margaret 2. WILLIAM ROBINSON, JR. m. 1775 ANN JOHNSTON and had children Valentine, Ann, Catherine, Amelie, & James 3. AMELIE ROBINSON m. 6 May,1806 JACOB RABB and had children Bowman Any help would be appreciated. By the way were you at the Sun Cities Genealogical Society's Library last saturday. A friend and I were visiting for the first time and I heard someone mention doing research n Robinsons. JIM SHIBLEY P.O.

I may be asking you for the Robinson info at some future date. Right now my wife's Robinsons seem to be a slightly different line, but I really don't know for sure. Her Robinsons, a John b. in Ireland 22 Jun 1749, m. Margaret Lattard(Aeries?) in Ireland and immigrated to either Washington or Westmoreland Co., Pa.(date presently unknown). He died in one of the two counties 18 Aug 1819. The only decendent I now have is a George, b. 21 Nov 1801 in either Washington or Westmoreland Co., Pa. and died 12 Jul 1882 in Ravenna, Oh.. He m. Maria Louisa Johnson 26 Jul 1831 in Lancaster, Oh. By the way, speaking of Robinsons, are you aware that the Pilgram Story began in Holland, and concerns a Rev. John Robinson. Patricia Graves of Fl has sent me some material on that, and I have just received another package from her with a lot more on Rev.John and his family. If you would like copies of this material, let me know, and I will be glad to send them to you. Something else. A Mrs. C. N.(Aileen) Dugan, 6250 Masefield Ct., Alexandria Va. 22304 is interested in the Va. Robinsons, and has quite a lot of data. I don't believe she is on the NGS network, but is on the Prodigy Genealogy network. So if you don't have the Prodigy Service, you would probably have to write her. From what I understand, she has your name and address, which was given to her by Cindy Robinson of Philadelphia who also has your name and hers. I'm the guilty party, but I thought the more contacts one had the more one can learn. As mentioned, should you want the data on Rev. John Robinson let me know.

I have need of some assistance. I'm trying to trace my ROBINSON line. I have the following information: Horace ROBINSON b/circa 1827 in N.H., m/circa 1850 Betsy (BOWERS?) in Londonderry N.H. Their son Horace ROBINSON b/3-24-1853 in Londonderry N.H. (twin of Hoyt ROBINSON) m/circa 1875 Alice HORAN in Mass., d/circa 1907 in Webster N.H., buried in Concord N.H. Their son Fred Bowers ROBINSON b/9-1-1878 in Concord N.H. is my grandfather. I have been unable to find anything about Horace ROBINSON (senior) or his wife Betsy, other than their names. Betsy's surname of BOWERS is a guess, my grandfather's middle name was BOWERS, and there is no one in his mother's line with that name. Also, his dates for birth and marriage are estimates. Was Horace ROBINSON born in Londonderry? Is he buried there? Are there BOWERS in Londonderry? Any with the name of Betsy born around the 1820's? Also, there is an intriguing place called Robinson Corner up near Springfield and Grafton N.H. Could Horace be connected with the Robinson's there? Its difficult for a California boy like me to get across the country to do research. I would really appreciate any help or advice you could give me.
