Counties in Vermont: Where Was Abiathar Smith Robinson Born? Windham? Bennington?
Nadene Goldfoot
Where was my great grandfather, Abiathar Smith Robinson born?
There are no records of him other than at the Wenona, Illinois Cemetery and my grandparents' huge Bible with records in the front pages. His wife, Julia Ann Tuller, was easily found in the October 28,1850 census living in Royalton, Windsor, Vermont with her parents at the age of 15. Abiathar was not. They married on February 29, 1852, leap year in Tunbridge, Orange, Vermont which was next door. Lots of Robinsons lived there, I noticed, and the same in Royalton. In fact, Vermont was just loaded with Robinsons of which all could have been great parents of Abiathar.
One potential father I like a lot is Descendants of HIRAM ROBINSON, Jr.
1 HIRAM ROBINSON, Jr. b: March 18, 1809 in Jamaica, Windham, Vermont d: 1839 in Jamaica, Windham, Vermont
.. +SALLY "Sarah" Smith b: January 01, 1812 in Jamaica, Windham County, Vermont d: August 30, 1905 in Wenona, Marshall, Illinois m: May 20, 1830 in Jamaica, Windham, Vermont.
This one explains the Smith as a middle name. I like it.
Another is Descendants of JACOB H. ROBINSON
1 [1] JACOB H. ROBINSON b: 1790 in Bakersfield, Franklin, Vermont , d: October 14, 1867 in Bakersfield, Franklin, Vermont
.. +Mary J. b: 1805 in Bakersfield, Franklin, VT m: Abt. 1825 in prob: Bakersfield, Franklin, Vermont
*2nd Wife of [1] JACOB H. ROBINSON: n, Vermont d: in Bakersfield, Franklin, Vermont
.. +OLIVE Polly Clemens Clement b: August 1816 in Ferrisburg, Quebec, Canada d: December 03, 1900 in Bakersfield, Franklin, Vermont m: 1837 in prob. Bakersfield, Franklin, Vermont/Tunbridge, Orange, VT
Descendants of Abiathar Smith Robinson
1 [1] Abiathar Smith Robinson b: December 07, 1829 in Bennington, Bennington, VT.; Jamaica, Windham,VT; / Cayuga, NY/ prob. Weathersfield, Windsor, Vermont d: October 07, 1904 in Wenona, Marshall, Illinois
.. +Julia Ann Tuller b: December 18, 1834 in Royalton, Windsor, Vermont d: December 02, 1887 in Wenona, Marshall, Illinois m: February 29, 1852 in Tunbridge, Orange, Vermont by justice of the peace Alva Button

It's interesting that Windsor is really next door to Orange. Lots of Robinsons came from Bennington and Windham, neighbors. Windham and Windsor are also neighbors.
Windham had over 20 pages with 20 people on each page making 400 Robinsons at the LDS FamilySearch.
Bennington has over 400 as well.
Windsor also had over 400 Robinsons.
Royalton, Windsor had 41 listed with both city and county. Many of those were children of Amos Robinson, of which there were two Amos with wives of Betsey and Lavina.
Orange had over 600. I kept going and the names kept coming. It's probably true for the others as well.
Rutland had at least 400 Robinsons.
Franklin had 360 Robinsons.
Descendants of Daniel Bullard Robinson
1 Daniel Bullard Robinson b: August 26, 1847 in Swanton/ St. Albans, Franklin, Vermont d: May 31, 1901 in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois
.. +Ella M. Perkins b: April 16, 1849 in St. Louis, Missouri d: May 02, 1903 in St. Albans, Franklin, Vermont m: January 25, 1871 in St. Louis, Missouri. He's not on either tree of consideration at this time.

| Vermont, a very small state, is only 9,623 square miles in size. Oregon happens to be 96,003 square miles in size. Frank Hugh Robinson, his son and my grandfather, moved to Oregon from Wenona, Marshall, Illinois where Frank was born. |
There are no records of him other than at the Wenona, Illinois Cemetery and my grandparents' huge Bible with records in the front pages.

Franklin was not in my consideration, but I have two ladies who match some of my genes who also have Robinsons from here.
CC and SL and her sister, CL are my 2nd to 4th cousins and they match each other on chromosome #1 segment. SL and CL match me with 24.81cMs and CC matches us with 34.44cMs. Sl and CL also match me on #7 with 48.90cMs. CC matches me on #14 with 5.68cMs and on the 23rd chromosome (X) the sex gene, telling me we share a female ancestor with a segment of 5.27cMs.
With Robinson being the 16th most popular name, it's not surprising that a Robinson would marry into another Robinson family.
