| 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.

The families were connected.
Hiram Robinson is a special name. It's the name of another man I suspected was Abiathar's father; a Hiram Robinson married to Sally Smith.

There was another one.

Sally Durkee and Asenath Durkee are 3rd cousins once removed. 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! |
