Our Robinson's Tuller-Tullar Line From Simsbury, Hartford, Connecticut to Vermont and More
Nadene Goldfoot
Above is a picture from TULLAR SCHOOL in St. Albans, 1886. The Tullar School was a one-room schoolhouse that stood at the corner of Lower Newton Road and the Kellogg Road. At the moment we don’t know exactly when the school was built, but the lot was cleared in the fall of 1964. Collins and Dunsmore children are in this pictures. I don't know about any Robinson or Tuller/Tullars in there.
Abiathar Smith Robinson's wife was Julia Ann Tuller b: 1834 in Royalton, Vermont. They would be my great grandparents.
Her father was Alonzo Charles Tuller b: 1809 in St. Albans, Franklin County, Vermont. He died in Rockwell, LaSalle, Illinois, and Abiathar and Julia Ann had settled in Wenona, Marshall, Illinois.
In 1780, Royalton suffered from a large scale Indian attack. Relatives were involved. The book: History of Royalton by Evelyn Lovejoy tells a lot about Royalton. I had read it as a library inter-loan. It's in Vermont. "Garner Rix was about 12 years old when he moved with his father, pregnant mother, two sisters and three brothers from a farm in Connecticut to a log cabin on the banks of the White River, a place that would one day be called Royalton, Vermont.
ROYALTON FROM NEW YORK TO VERMONT
On December 20, 1781, by an act of the Vermont Legislature, the town was granted and chartered to Comfort Seaver and his associates. The petition for the charter list the petitioners, the actual settlers who had acquired there land under New York, who were as follows: Comfort Seaver, Elias Stevens, John Kent, Elias Kent Jr., John Hibbard, James Hibbard, Jedediah Hide (Hyde), Ebenezer Dewey, Ebenezer Church, Nathan Fish, John Safford, Benjamin Parkhurst, Simon Shepard, Reuben Parkhurst, Daniel Gilbert, Daniel Ricks(Rix), John Kimball, Garner Ricks, Ebenezer Parkhurst, David Fish, David Brewster, Robert Havens, William Blackmer, Herman Durkee, Ebenezer Brewster, Medad Benton, Nathaniel Morse, Robert Handay, Benjamin Day, Timothy Durkee, John Gillett, Aden Durkee, John Billings, Joseph Fish, John Wilson, John Hibbard Jr., Samuel Benedict, Calvin Parkhurst, Josiah Wheeler, Joseph Parkhurst, Elias Curtis, John Havens, Johnson Safford, John Stevens Jr., Isaac Morgan, Zebulon Lyon, Nathan Morgan, Daniel Fuller, William Joiner, Martin Fuller, Daniel Havens, Benjamin Day Jr., John Evans, Jeremiah Trescott, Israel Waller, William Jones, John House, Tillie Parkhurst, Phineas Parkhurst, Samuel Clark, Joel Marsh.
There are 2 cemeteries; ours is in LaSalle County with 136 interments. It's bigger.
All the names of original settlers in bold print are main ancestors on our tree, and even most of the others are on the tree as well. Julia Ann and Abiathar named their first son "Edward Rix Robinson."
Ancestors of Alonzo Charles Tuller, Julia Ann Tuller's father:
1 [1] 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
.. +Asenath Asinith Durkee b: 1814 in Royalton, Windsor County, Vermont d: 1868 in Royalton, Windsor County, Vermont/Rockwell, Illinois
*2nd Wife of [1] Alonzo Charles Tuller:
.. +Betty Ann Unknown b: Abt. 1816 in United States
This Tuller family had been on the 1850 census in Royalton showing that Julia Ann was 15 years old at the time. Living with them was a John Robinson age 51, hired hand, farmer like Alonzo was. Since there were so many Robinsons in the area at the time, I've never been able to connect him to Abiathar. I have not found Abiathar to be connected to anyone other than Julia Ann.
Abiathar and Julia Ann married in Tunbridge, Vermont on February 29, 1852. It is very close to Royalton and relatives lived in both places.
She and Abiather lived next door to her younger brother, Albert Tuller, on the 1870 census in Wenona, Marshall, Illinois. She was 36 and her brother was 27. Where was Abiathar and Julia Ann during the USA 1860 census? They were found living in Canada. That would have covered the time during the Civil War from 1861-1865. From what I have found, they were in Canada from 1858 to 1861.
10/16/09 Obit from Tom Mead, my 2nd cousin, from Wenona newspaper: Mrs. Julia A. Robinson, wife of A.S Robinson, after suffering so intensely and so long, passed away from our life and our world last Friday at noon, and entered into that broader world where our knowledge is free from the burdon of ......and trouble.
Mrs. Robinson (Julia Ann Tuller) was born in Royalton, Vt, in 1834. Married to A.S. Robinson in 1851.( I have the date of February 29, 1852 in Tunbridge, Vt, just a little ways from Royalton.) The family.....of ten children, eight of whom are........of those at home. ....about a year ago and .....shortly after. ....and death. .....Her life was not.all....it as easy nor as long from ....did she bear....do her duty. A true woman, ....wife and mother. All that was m....all...was buried in the Wenona cemetery, then the ...al services being held at the....Presbyterian church and ...by Rev ....of....
As an afterthought, not having any old family pictures of any Tuller like Julia, I thought I'd browse on google and found Solomon "Zalman" Tuller b: c1871, father of Joseph on geni.com He's evidently of a different Y haplogroup, a Jewish one. Like Robinson, there are Jewish ones and Gentile ones of the same surnames. This Jewish line could easily be from Holland via Germany or Austria. Gentiles used common Jewish first names, too, especially during this period.

| Confederate Raid of St. Albans, Vermont Home of several Tullers. A unit of Confederate soldiers invaded Vermont during the Civil War on October 19, 1864, at the end of the war.Canada did not take sides during the American Civil War. The country allowed civilians and soldiers from both the Union and the Confederacy to enter its borders to secure supplies or safety, and St. Albans was close to Canada.
My ggrandmother, Julia Ann Tuller's grandfather, Samuel Tuller, was born in St. Albans, Vermont to Reuben Tuller and Mary Cowles in 1783, and his parents must have been one of the first to arrive, which was after the Revolutionary War. Reuben was first a private then a captain in that war in 1776.

| THE INDIAN ATTACK ON ROYALTON
About 300 Indians of various tribes on October 16, 1780, before dawn attacked this town. The leader was the Caghnewaga tribe and had left Canada with a British Lieutenant Horton, and Le Mott, a Frenchman.
Our ancestor, Timothy Durkee, suffered through the burning of Royalton. Only his oldest son, Heman, stayed in Royalton after this attack. Harvey stayed in Vermont but others moved to New York. The grandchildren spread throughout the land; Pennsylvania, New York, Wisconsin, Texas, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Iowa, and even Canada. Garner Rix was captured by the British, Mohawks, and Abenakis during the Royalton Raid. Mohawks or Abenakis took him to Montreal and sold him to a French woman who kept him safe until he could walk home a year later.
