Abiathar's son, Frank, wanted to save his horse from the bull who was loose in the same field as his treasured horse, most likely a Morgan being that's what was being raised by Abiathar's mother-if his parents were as I suspect, Hiram Robinson and Almira Morgan.  Another indication is that Sally Durkee was married to Almira's brother, Justin Jr. Abiathar's wife, Julia Ann Tuller's mother was Asenith Durkee.  Descendants of Asenith Asinith Durkee 1  Asenith Asinith Durkee b: 1814 in Royalton, Windsor County, Vermont d: 1868 in Royalton, Windsor County, Vermont/Rockwell, Illinois .. +Alonzo Charles Tuller b: October 22, 1809 in St. Albans, Vermont (Franklin County) d: January 29, 1870 in Rockwell, LaSalle, Illinois Occupation: 1850 Stone Mason Descendants of HIRAM ROBINSON 1  HIRAM ROBINSON b: August 12, 1799 in Royalton, Windsor, Vermont d: Bef.

Descendants of HIRAM ROBINSON 1  [1] HIRAM ROBINSON b: December 06, 1806 in Strafford, Orange, Vermont d: February 06, 1892 in Strafford, Orange, Vermont Occupation: Bet. 1860 - 1880 farmer .. +Zeruiah Zemah Zeruah A.

Sally Durkee and Julia Ann Tuller, Asenath's daughter, are 3rd cousins twice removed. Sally Durkee and Abiathar Smith Robinson are 5th cousins. Julia Ann Tuller and Abiathar Smith Robinson are are actually 3rd cousins once removed among other titles like husband and wife. How the line gets to Meppershall, England Hiram Robinson  b: 1799 and Almira Morgan Amos                       1767 Amos                       1734 Amos                       1711 Jacob                       1680 John                         1641 John                         1611 Mepperhall, England  "Popular children's authors, including Marguerite Henry and Ellen Feld, have portrayed the breed in their books; Henry's Justin Morgan Had a Horse was later made into a Disney movie." I'm pursuing people who have tested their DNA now with the surname of Morgan.  Hope I get a positive response and find a descendant of Justin Morgan.   The problem is that if it's true as it looks with my brother's match, then I cannot fit other matches to these newer Robinsons.  Wish I knew for sure who Abiathar's parents really are!   Resource:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgan_horse
