Rix Family Running Through Both Sides of Family of Robinson and Tuller

Nadene Goldfoot                                            
Tyler Pearce Rix  b: January 2, 1993 England
musician, football player, international model
From the English line of Rix 
The Rix family was found in a Robinson line, making me wonder if my ggrandfather, Abiathar Smith Robinson, b: 1829 in New York or Vermont,  belonged to that line.  We do not know who his father was.  He had named his first son with the name of Rix, though, as Edward Rix Robinson.  Usually in these days, people named in a prescribed order; first name for father's father; second child for mother's father, etc.  They named for family members.  Not always, though.  Sometimes it was for people they admired.  On both the IGI (Family search LDS) and Worldconnect Project (Ancestry.com) there is listed a Heman Durkee b: 1759 married to.... Susanna Rix, and they were married in Royalton, VT 19 Sept 1781.   Rix was evidently the surname of relatives in the family, and that is why they named him Rix for a first name.
                                                                                                   
Sen. Rix Robinson
There was a Senator Rix Robinson b: 1789 who was a Michigan Senator from 1847 to 1849. (See reference below article.) We had heard a story that one of Abiathar's brothers had married an Indian princess.  (Or had they just heard about this fact and passed it on?)

Charles Durkee, Governor of Utah Territory
was born in 1805 in Royalton, Windsor, Vermont,
and was the nephew of Col Heman Durkee
I have 24 Charles Durkees in my name bank.
He is the 1st cousin twice removed of Julia Ann Tuller.

 At age 22 Abiathar had married Julia Ann Tuller, b: 1834 in Royalton, Windsor, Vermont when she was 17.  They married in Tunbridge, Orange, Vermont next door to Royalton.  
                                                                           
Julia's mother was a Durkee, the name today of Durkee's mayonaise, spices, and such. "Durkee is an American brand name under conglomerate ownership. It formerly was an independent food company, Durkee Famous Foods, founded by Eugene R. Durkee, who was born in 1828,  in 1851.  This is one Durkee I do not have listed in my name bank.  

 Col Heman Durkee, Julia Ann's great grandfather b: 1759,  had married Susanna Rix, both of Connecticut.

THIS IS AMAZING!  BOTH RIX FAMILIES WERE THE SAME!!! One in Abiathar Robinson's family and one in Julia Ann Tuller's family.  This has to be why Abiathar and Julia named their first son "Edward Rix Robinson."
