Another Great Possible Line-of Robinsons-Edward Robinson b: 1615 from England
Nadene Goldfoot
Today I was contacted by a T. Robinson who has done serious research on his family, using actual documents. They went back about 6 generations to Edward Robynson Robinson born in 1615 in England and Margaret Hall b: 1640 in Hopkinton, Washington, Rhode Island, USA.
This is the monument in Hopkinton, RI dedicated to the families that founded the town in 1757. Edward Wells is Randall’s father and Edward Wells Jr. is Randall’s older brother. Randall isn’t on the monument because in 1757 at the time of the town’s founding, he would only have been 10 years old. Edward Robinson is listed on the monument with his father.
Abiathar's first son was Edward Rix Robinson. I have that there is an Edward R. Robinson b: 1763 married to EUNICE RIX. Both are from Connecticut. Their son, Rix Robinson, was a Senator from Michigan ! This Senator was married to Pee-miss-a-quot-oquay Flying Cloud. My grandfather, Frank Hugh Robinson, did tell us that one of his brothers was married to an Indian Princess. Well? This does bring this line to Ottowa, Michigan.

This looks most promising. Abiathar's father would be a John Robinson. This most interesting thing about that is that there was a John Robinson age 51 living with the Tullers, and that Abiathar Smith Robinson, b: 1829 in New York or Vermont, married Julia Ann Tuller, the 15 year old daughter of the 1850 census of Royalton, Windsor, Vermont.
The problem is that there are so many John Robinsons, and in doing the 1850 census, this John seems to have also been on July 1, 1850 in Robinson, Ottawa, Michigan, but in October 28, 1850, finding John living with the Tullers. I guess he could have moved away from Ottawa by himself and then Abiathar at age 21was there living somewhere else; possibly in Tunbridge next door to Royalton.
Abiathar Smith Robinson fits nicely in this family.
