The town of Weathersfield was named for Wethersfield, Connecticut, the home of some of its earliest settlers. The Connecticut town had taken its name, in turn, from Wethersfield, a village in the English county of Essex, the name of which derived from "wether", or in Old English wither, meaning a castrated lamb. In England, wethers were trained to lead flocks of ewes to pasture. It was a supreme irony that the name of the Vermont town (with an 'a' inserted) would derive from a connection to sheep, the animal that would come to define Weathersfield's earliest antecedents and first put it on the map.
A Possible Tree For Our Robinson Line
(Y haplogroup of R-L21)
There are no papers showing a connection to John Milton Robinson, but he sure seems to be the John living with the Tullers. If he was Abiathar's father and Abiathar had to live elsewhere being 21 now, he may have accompanied his father and found lodging in Tunbridge.
The story is that the 1850 census in Royalton, Windsor, Vermont, had my ggrandfather, Abiathar's future wife, Julia Ann Tuller on the census at age 15 and living in the house was a worker, John Robinson, age 51, born in Vermont. It could easily be John Milton Robinson, a man I had thought about before but now, after working on a previous article of Robinsons throughout the censuses in Windsor, it suddenly made sense that this one and only John of Wethersfield was Abiathar's father. Abiathar was in Tunbridge in 1850 where he married Julia Ann in 1852. She was still in Royalton. They had a lot of relatives living in Tunbridge; the Tullers, Durkees, etc.
Too bad it didn't say the Robinson's House

Sheep came to Wethersfield. "The man responsible for that feat was a native of Boston who had become a European trader. William Jarvis was appointed by President Thomas Jefferson as U.S. Consul General to Portugal, after founding a trading house in Lisbon. In 1811 Jarvis imported from Spain to his farm at Weathersfield Bow the first Merino sheep brought to America. Jarvis set aside eight of the 4,000 Merino sheep he imported as gifts to former President Jefferson and to President James Madison.
Rev. John Dudley, a sometime missionary to the Choctaw Indians, a graduate of Yale Seminary, the descendant of one of the earliest families of Connecticut, His ancestor, William Dudley, settled in Guilford in the early 17th century( Guilford is a coastal town in New Haven County, Connecticut, United States, that borders Madison, Branford, North Branford and Durham, and is situated on I-95 and the Connecticut seacoast.) and a widely reprinted Congregational preacher, made his home in Weathersfield, where his son William Wade Dudley was born.
I found a Dudley gal married to a John Robinson on the line that leads to Meppershall, England. Descendants of John Robinson

All these Dudleys and Robinsons are in Rockingham, New Hampshire; with the Robinson's being on a tree that are a DNA match to our Robinson line. They are not R-L21 but about 5 steps from it, our closest match that had gone to Maine. Could it be that Dudleys followed along with Robinsons in New Hampshire? I think part of my tree is correct in that we start from Weathersfield and wind up in Rockingham with one of those Robinsons married to a Dudley in order to incorporate our Y haplogroup line. How about that? What can I figure with my other DNA matches? Hmmm. Chances are that this line is just a coincidence with a John Robinson staying with the Tullers and wasn't Abiathar's father at all. Do you think?
I see a Bartlett connection between the two groups. I'll have to check on that next. They connect quickly in New Hampshire. They both have Dudley L. Bartlett on them from New Hampshire and son George Bartlett with Martha Robinson, wife. That Martha is the Robinson connection of Bartlett.
