Who Was At Abiathar and Julia Ann Robinson's Wedding February 29, 1852?
Nadene Goldfoot
In Tunbridge, Orange, Vermont on the 1850 census was Elvira Robinson age 27 from Canada and her 5 year old boy, Lucius Robinson. Elvira was from Canada. Lucius had been born in Vermont. She had no husband listed but was living with the Durfees, which must have been Durkees.
In 1852, Julia Ann Tuller was listed as living in Tunbridge. We know in 1850 she was 15 living with her parents in Royalton. Her father was Alonzo Charles Tuller. No other Tullers were listed. Alva Button was the Justice of the Peace who performed the ceremony. I believe I also saw where Abiathar was also living in Tunbridge in 1850 or at least in 1852.
Elijah Durfee, born in Vermont was 45 so was born in 1805 and was a manufacturer. His wife Hannah was 35 and born in New Hampshire in 1815. They had a 16 year old son, Rufus also born in NH, and daughter Hannah L. Durfee 4. Descendants of Elijah Durkee
1 Elijah Durkee b: 1805 in Tunbridge, Orange, Vermont
.. +Hannah b: 1815 in New Hampshire
The wedding would take place on Feb 29, 1852 in Tunbridge, a Leap Year.
Of the Durkee men in 1850 there were many:
1. Paine b: 1804
2. Darius b: 1806
3. Charles b: 1806
4. Roswell b: 1809
5,George W. b: 1811
6. William H. b: 1813
7. Benjamin F. b: 1816
8. John b: 1834
9. Simeon P. b:1835
10. Horace b: 1837
11. Albert b: 1839
12 Elijah Durfee (Durkee) b: Vermont, on the 1850 census of August 14 age 45, a manufacturer
his wife, Hannah age 35 born in New Hampshire
Rufus Durkee age 16, works with father in manufacturing
Hannah L. age 4
Elvira Robinson age 27 from Canada
Lucius Robinson age 5 b: Vermont
WHO IS ELVIRA'S HUSBAND? Was Hannah, Elijah's wife, a Robinson?
It is 82 miles from Vermont to the Canadian border.
I've tracked Elijah Durkee back to his father and mother being:
Descendants of John Durkee
1 John Durkee b: April 09, 1784 in Windham, Windham, Connecticut d: September 27, 1827 in Tunbridge, Orange County, Vermont
.. +Sarah Parkhurst b: December 10, 1785 in Pomfret, Windham County, Connecticut d: December 11, 1870 in Tunbridge, Orange County, Vermont
John had 6 sons.
Julia Ann was a Tuller, but her mother was Asenath Durkee so had a lot of Durkee relatives. They lived in Royalton, Windsor, Vermont which was right next door to Tunbridge as I understand. Abiathar was not listed with any Robinson father, nor was he even listed. He only appeared in Tunbridge marrying Julia Ann. Within 5 years they had moved to Canada. One listing said their son was born in Montreal.
Royalton's 1850 census for Robinsons were:
1. Alfred-1835 6. Amos-1831 11. William-1839
2. Cyrus-1830 7. Joseph-1805 12. George-1836
3. Calvin-1837 8. Amos-1831 13, John-1799
4. Charles-1842 9. Amos -1798 14, Timothy-1784
5. Joseph A-1845 10. Dwight-1832 15, Jonathan-1825
Tullers and Tullars also lived in Royalton, Windsor, Vermont.
1. Alonzo Tuller b: 1810 was the only Tuller head on the 1850 census in Royalton.
Then of course there were many Robinsons and Tullers living outside Royalton and Tunbridge as well.
Durkees on the 1850 Royalton census :
1. Bela b: 1799
2. Seymour b: 1824
3. Herman b: 1789
4. Benjamin b: 1822
5, Henry b: 1833
6. Nathan b: 1830
7. Lewis B, b: 1843

son Hezekiah age 29

Elihu Tullar was born on November 5 1841 but died in Tunbridge on February 24, 1928 in Tunbridge, so it must have been home to him. His father, Samuel Miller Tullar may have been at the wedding, but had died possibly in 1849 while serving in the army (20 Mass Infantry company D private, Union,). No wonder I see single women on the census with small children. His mom could have attended, and was Maria Johnson Tullar, born in 1817. They had lived in Royalton, too.
On this same census is Harvey's parents and kinfolk.
