Searching Robinsons in Orange County, Vermont
Nadene Goldfoot
I was looking through the deceased listing on findagrave.com, complaining to myself about their new face now that they've sold their website to ancestry.com I think, and looking at a John A. Robinson born in 1826 for a forgotten reason, and found his death certificate on ancestry. It was quite a good one, telling that his father was David Robinson. I found one in my program b: 1797. He had moved to West Fairlee! Now I have 50 million David Robinsons collected in my Family Tree Maker software program. John was buried in West Fairlee, Orange, Vermontl. This David had to have been John's father. I added him to the family. The only problem is that Preston, already on the census, was listed having been born on the same date. How could that be? John A had to be a part of this West Fairlee family. A twin? Hmm. Another David in West Fairlee? The few records I did find all said that David was born in Massachusetts and the one I chose was. That's why he fits the puzzle.
Here's another tree in my Family Tree Maker. This David already has a son John listed. West Fairlee?
Hadn't found that among his history a few years ago. I'll have to try to get more information.

Did our ggrandfather, Abiathar Smith Robinson know of this family?
Did he live with any of this family since he was not on the 1850 census in Royalton, Windsor, Vermont?
He was not on Tunbridge, Orange, Vermont census, either but married there in 1852. He wasn't on any 1850 census, missed by census takers everywhere.
Who was the John Robinson in Royalton living with Abiarhar's future wife, Julia Ann Tuller's family, found on the 1850 census at age 51? This fact makes me wonder about all John Robinsons in the area. This one was then born in 1799 or thereabouts the way people reported ages. Unless they spoke to the person in question, they were capable of getting an assortment of guessed answers.

John was born in 1826 and our Abiathar was born in 1829 in Vermont. This is in Orange County, where Tunbridge is. Our Abiathar Smith Robinson was married in Tunbridge, Vermont in 1852. John's father was of the same age and living in the same area where Abiathar's father could have come from. John A died from typhoid dysentery.

1. JOHN A.8 ROBINSON (DAVID7, ZADOCK6, DANIEL5, EBENEZER4, SAMUEL GEORGE3, GEORGE2, PHILIP1) was born
September 11, 1826 in Rehoboth, Massachusetts, and died August 06, 1890 in West
Fairlee, Orange, Vermont. He married MARY D.. She was born 1832 in Vermont.
Notes for JOHN A. ROBINSON:
11/16/17 read the death
certificate for John A Robinson who died in West Fairlee and was born 1827 in
Rehoboth, Massachusetts, a laborer.
His father was David
Robinson. I started hunting and found
this father both in Mass and West Fairlee, Vermont!!! He has to be the father
but did not have a John listed as a son on any of the other pieces of
information I had found-trees from other people, probably, because of the age
under 1850 census.

The Abiathar Robinson Mystery: Key May Be Tunbridge Cemetery--Scene of Marriage
Nadene Goldfoot
The mystery man is our ggrandfather, Abiathar Smith Robinson b: December 1829 in Vermont? New York? He was married to Julia Ann Tuller of Royalton, Windsor, Vermont on December 18, 1834. Finding his father means finding the rest of the ancestors. Our grandfather's oral history was that his people came over not on the Mayflower but the ship after that. It was John Robinson, Reverend in Holland who sent the Pilgrims over on the Mayflower. Many people are descendants of him. However, a lot of other male Robinsons also came over during this period and landed in Massachusetts, then spread out over the whole New England area. Many were named, John Robinson. The Civil War era even brought them to the South.
I cannot help thinking that Abiathar's New York birthplace proclamation on the 1900 census of Wenona Marshall, Illinois was incorrect. Maybe his 2nd wife gave this false information to the census taker. The 1870 and 1880 censuses claimed Vermont.
I have scoured the findagrave sites for Robinsons in many towns in Vermont looking for clues. Strafford held many Robinsons.
We have a DNA Y haplogroup match of 2 men who match my male Robinson cousin. It is a rare reading of a common haplogroup that men carry. R-L21. The first allele is a 12 and not a 13, making it unique among the R haplogroup men.
England out of 39,976 tested which was a 0.1%).
I have worked very hard trying to connect our tree to theirs and come out with the farthest ancestor being in Meppershall, England. Now I see that the man ending in Meppershall must have an ancestor that we have, but we don't necessarily have to be on target ending in Meppershall. I found such an ancestor.
Our haplogroup match had many Robinsons in Rockingham County, New Hampshire. However, we do not have a DNA segment match with any of these haplogroup matches. They all came from the same branch but weren't family-related.
Yesterday, after sending me part of his tree, I started searching with a new father for Abiathar, one I suspected many years ago who was in Royalton, Vermont. It was Cyrus B. Robinson b: 1808 in Royalton, Windsor, Vermont where Abiathar's wife, Julia Ann Tuller, was from.
Cyrus's wife was Thankful, Preston. The Prestons were from Strafford and Sharon, Vermont. Cyrus's father was Daniel Robinson, Jr. b: 1769 in either Massachusetts or Rushville, Yates, New York.
Ah ha! Daniel's wife was Betsey Elizabeth Buel. Both died in Strafford, Orange, Vermont. Orange is the county very close to Royalton which includes Tunbridge, the town where Abiathar and Julia Ann married. Strafford turned out to be quite a key to my search. It also holds a lot of Robinsons in its cemetery.

Other interesting Hiram Robinsons I have found in the past when their towns meant nothing to me:
Hiram Robinson Walpole, Cheshire, New Hampshire 1830 age 21; Abiathar had been born in 1829.
Hiram Robinson Concord, Merrimack, New Hampshire 1830
Hiram Robinson Chenango, Broome, New York 1830
Hiram Robinson Jackson, Washington, New York 1830
New Hampshire leads to our Y haplogroup match.
Chenango, Brome, New York leads to our DNA segment match of 3rd cousin.
I see a Hiram no matter who in our past! Not as a gggrandfather but as his brother or ggggrandfather.

Six more generations back and I come to John Robinson b: 1611 of Meppershall, England- if my figuring is correct. Too bad one of these Robinson men couldn't be Abiathar's father being they came from Royalton, Vermont. I found their names in the book about Royalton. "History of Royalton, Vermont, with family genealogies, 1769-1911, by Mary Evelyn Wood Lovejoy" - Book is available online.
I found we have some Rockingham Robinsons in common:
I found them when I worked on Ben Flanders' family. They were on the same census page . I found the Flanders through the Prestons.
It goes like this:
Ben Flanders b: 1803 is the brother of Jesse Flanders b: 1800, Jesse's son is Henry J. Flanders b: 1827 and he is married to Edna Robnson, the sister supposedly of Abiathar Smith Robinson. Edna and Abiathar are the children of Cyrus B. Robinson in this case and Thankful Preston.
Thankful Preston b: 1811 is the daughter of Edward Preston b: 1773 of Chester, Rockingham, New Hampshire.
Ben was on the same census page as Jesse Robinson and Jonathan Robinson. I just tracked them down. I had just kept researching the people connected to each other.

| This is John Robinson, head of New Hampshire Historical Society. His ancestor was a Revolutionary war soldier,also John Robinson, a descendant of the Mayflower passenger, Degory Priest, on the family farm on Chemung Road, Meredith, New Hampshire Degory was #29 of the 41 aboard and signed the Mayflower Compact on November 11, 1620. He was a hatmaker from London. (http://www.nhcommentary.com/mayflower_history.html) I wonder if he's had a DNA test yet and what his Y haplotype is? |

Our connection to the Maryland Robinsons who were first in Rockingham, New Hampshire must be through Jesse and Jonathan, and this is why we share the male Robinson line but not any DNA individually.
I found a Charles Robinson b: 1827-28 born in Northfield, Washington, Vermont who died in Randolph, Orange, Vermont in 1897. He was born one or two years before Abiathar. A possible brother? Anything with Abiathar is possible if they're from Vermont. Charles married his 3rd wife in 1891 in Randolph. I've found 4 wives, and this one was listed on Vermont Vital Records.
The parents of Charles were David Robinson b: 1799 and Sarah Denny of Northfield, Washington, Vermont. Grandparents were Ezekiel Robinson, Col. b: 1769 who died in Stowe, Vermont, and Dinah Doubeday, both of Massachusetts. Ggrandparents were Nathaniel Robinson, Deacon and Judge b: 1729 and Keziah Robbins, both also born in Massachusetts, people already on my other trees.
I didn't have Charles on this tree before snooping into the graveyard. This tree ends with a George Robinson of Glasgow, Scotland, a fitting one for our Robinson Y haplotype, I must say.
Abiathar could easily be in this next tree:

Charles L. Robinson b: 1864 is also a part of this tree, and he was listed on findagrave.com. Charles
was the son of Daniel and Eloise A. Fulham. He died in 1882, born and died in Strafford .
Parents of Hiram were Daniel Robinson 1769 and Betsy Buel, Grandparents were Daniel 1734 and
Lucretia Parse; Ggrandparents were Ebenezer 1697 and Elizabeth Reed, Gggrandparents were
Samuel 1654 and Mehitalbe Reed, and Ggggrandparents were our familiar George b: 1626 of
Glasgow, Scotland. Have I now found the tree that Abathar belongs on? It looks good. These former
Scots seemed to settle in the same towns of Vermont. Interesting.
My first consideration of a father for Abiathar was another Hiram Robinson connected to Wenona,
Vermont.

I thought that being Sally Robinson lived here and must be Abiathar's mother, this was why he returned
from Canada to Wenona, Illinois of all places. Sally and Hiram had been from Vermont and he had
died so young at age 30. She had remarried a Thomas Russell and had 4 more children, a boy and 3 girls.

Other interesting Hiram Robinsons I have found in the past when their towns meant nothing to me:
Hiram Robinson Walpole, Cheshire, New Hampshire 1830 age 21; Abiathar had been born in 1829.
Hiram Robinson Concord, Merrimack, New Hampshire 1830
Hiram Robinson Chenango, Broome, New York 1830
Hiram Robinson Jackson, Washington, New York 1830
New Hampshire leads to our Y haplogroup match.
Chenango, Brome, New York leads to our DNA segment match of 3rd cousin.
I see a Hiram no matter who in our past! Not as a gggrandfather but as his brother or ggggrandfather.

Life Back in the 1800's in Vermont For Tullers and Robinsons
What was it like back in 1840? The country was in a Depression. Did people have presidential woes like we do today?
How did people ever build cabins? How did they cut down trees so that they could build them?
This place, found in Stowe, Vermont, is 800 sq feet, quite large for a cabin. It can sleep 4 people. It's available to rent. One can sit on the porch and listen to the stream as it flows. It's not a log cabin, however, like the one Julia Ann Tuller's father, Alonzo, might have built.

| President William Henry Harrison He gave a 2 hour speech, the longest when he became president. |
Harrison served for one month, dying in office from pneumonia. His Vice President, John Tyler-a Whig, then became the 10th President and served for the next 4 years.
Abe Lincoln, our 16th president, was brought up in a log cabin in Illinois. Here is an original at his birthplace. Lincoln was born in 1809. This appears to be more like our toy Lincoln logs, doesn't it?
Our ggrandmother, Julia Ann Robinson nee Tuller, had parents who lived in St. Albans Vermont and then moved to Royalton, Vermont where she must have met up with Abiathar Smith Robinson as she was a 15 year old there on the 1850 census. They married in 1852 in the town next door, Tunbridge.
The town of Royalton was chartered in 1779. Before that it was a nice-sized setttlement. The people here had been farmers in the old countries and had large stocks of cattle already with them. People "loved their neighbors as themselves."
On the 16th of October, 1780, 300 Indians of various tribes led by the Caghnewago tribe, had left Canada to attack another town, Newbury in eastern Vermont. However, Lt. Horton, a British lieutenant, who was the Indian's commander and Le Mott, a Frenchman, his 2nd, were led by a villain, Hamilton. Hamilton had become a prisoner of the Americans in 1777. He had been at Newbury and Royalton on parole.
"The Royalton raid was a British-led Indian raid in 1780, one year after being chartered, against various towns along the White River Valley in the Vermont Republic, and was part of the American Revolutionary War. It was the last major Indian raid in New England." He led them to Royalton, knowing it would be defenseless and went through Tunbridge to get to Royalton.
Entering before daylight, they entered the house of John Hutchinson who lived close to the border of Royalton from Tunbridge. They took John and his brother, Abijah prisoners and plundered the house., then went to Robert Havens' house. Havens was outside tending his sheep, and when on a hill, heard Hutchinson's dog barking. Seeing Indians at his door, he hid behind a log. He heard his wife screaming and his sons running away.
Thomas Pember was killed by a spear as he ran from the Indians. Eventually, the 300 set the town on fire. Such were the dangers of these brave ancestors of ours seeking a better life.

| Amos and Lois Robinson's son, Dwight C. Robinson lies here in the South Royalton Village Cemetery. Born in 1832, he died February 18, 1853 at age 21. Amos was born in Royalton in 1797 and Lois in 1800.
Descendants of CYRUS B. ROBINSON, Possible father of Abiathar as we do not know. Records not forthcoming. It's more likely that his father was from Royalton or very nearby and here, the parents are. Abiathar was not on the 1850 census with Cyrus and Thankful and 2 sisters, but he was now 21 years old.
