Robinson Genealogy

Nadene Goldfoot-his great granddaughter    

                                My grandfather, Frank Hugh and his father, Abiathar Smith Robinson

Abiathar Smith Robinson, my great grandfather, was born on December 7, 1829 to Amos IV Robinson who was born in Royalton, Windsor, Vermont and his 2nd wife, Lois Safford, also from Royalton.  Abiathar's credentials of where he was actually born and to whom has never been located.  I choose this Amos IV because of when they were married.  The 1830 census showed that they had a child in 1829 and Abiathar was born then; a child without parents; so he fits in the picture.  Besides that, everyone else possible did not have such a slot, or if it is one of them, he would have been born before they were married, which of course, is possible.  However, this fits nicely .  Royalton is an important city in his history.  Amos would have liked the name, Abiathar for a son, I believe being both were from the Old Testament.  Abiathar grew up to be very strict about keeping the Sabbath-allowing no work on Sunday in which his home was a farm with horses and a bull that we know of.  The descending line going back connects with our Maine Robinson line back to Meppershall, England. 

                                                                                               

                                                       Frank's 2nd wife, Augusta  Gustafson and children, Edward Kenneth and Mildred Elizabeth

I have attached Abiathar to other possibilities, but think now that this is the best-  I had help from Kay Robinson of Wisconsin, a professor and a university librarian.   Kay teaches ethnic and women's history.  Her credentials are in 20th Century US & Russian diplomatic History and has a minor in 20th Century European History.   She has since passed away from cancer.  She was such a great help; even going to the county seats in Vermont to check on information.  She was a descendant of the 1st wife of our common ancestor,  Amos Robinson IV, of Royalton, Windsor, Vermont.  We were from the 2nd wife.                                                                                       

                                         Geoffrey R. Moss, her son in 1985 yearbook in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.  It could be her husband, as he above was born 1985.                                   

2/20/07  Kay Robinson , left sent photocopy of Vermont Gazette, published as the Vermont Gazette; Date: 10-12- 1824, Volume XV, Issue 46; Page (3); Location; Bennington, identifying the death of Amos Robinson's 1st wife, Betsey.  So there is no confusion, this is the Amos Jr. who went to Nekoosa, WI and was killed by a lightning strike.  .This is the right Amos and yes, he moved to the Neenah/Menasha area......Nekoosa is a bit further down.  Kay never had a DNA test that I know of;  back in 2007 I'm not sure I was into it that much.  I started testing in 2013.
