Study of Robinson Families of Vermont on 1850 Census: Where They Lived in Vermont

 Nadene Goldfoot                                        

                   Royalton, Windsor, Vermont, tucked into a forest  

Abiathar Smith Robinson married Julia Ann Tuller (Fuller) of Royalton.  Next door was Tunbridge, Orange, Vermont where they married on February 29, 1852, Leap Year.  Julia's father was Tuller and mother was Durkee, most all living in the two places with Durkee in Tunbridge.  Durkees won out for wedding to take place in Tunbridge.  The problem is to see if I can find who Abiathar's father is as it is not on any hard copy of the normal resources like census records.  It looks obvious that it must be a John Robinson (a very common name) who was on the 1850 census living with the Tullers, and Julia Ann Tuller was a child of 15 then.  She married at 17 to Abiathar.  

John Robinson was born 1803 in Tunbridge, Orange, Vermont
He was found at age 51? on the 1850 census of Royalton, Windsor, VT as a farmer living with the Tullers.  Why?
By 1852, Abiathar and Julia Ann Tuller were married in Tunbridge. Also living in Tunbridge was:
1. Charles Kent. Robinson b: 19 April 1829 b: Strafford, Vermont.  Charles was on 25 July 1870 census in Tunbridge at age 41 with father, James 70, sister-Mary A 44, James T 39.  I've got the possible idea that Charles is the son of James Robinson  who died in 1878 in Tunbridge.  Abiather could have been his brother but they were both born in 1829 but in different months.  This is part of the tree I have leading to Meppershall, England that connects to our Maine Robinson DNA cousin.  
2. On 1850 census of Tunbridge was listed:  James at 49, Mary 47, Mary Anne 24, Martha T 22, Charles K 21, Alma 15 b: Nov 1833, now Noyes-66 yrs old in 1900 listed as servant.
3. In 1900 Charles K was listed as 71 and single.  He was also on the Civil War Draft enlisted on 1 July 1853 at age 34.
4. 1870 census of 24th of June listed John A b: 1827, was 43 years old in Tunbridge; also: Mary D 37, Frank C 14, John M 12, and Harris Orr.  I've got Orr's on tree.  
5. A Robinson was born 19 April 1829 and died 6 Dec 1907 at Hunt Cemetery in Tunbridge.  I have Abiathar dying in 1904 in Illinois.  These could all be relatives.

Well, now I'm stuck.  I believe Abiathar's father could be this John Robinson who might be the one who was living with the Tullers on the 1850 census.  I have no idea which Robinson line this might belong to.  I don't know who John Robinson's father could be.  Back to the drawing board.
