Today I made a discovery about John Robinson.  Though I knew he was born on April 12, 1798 in Scipio, Cayuga, New York, the only thing that I considered was that it was New York.  Eliza Fowler, his wife, was also from Scipio, Cayuga, New York.  I have it that John died in Tunbridge, Orange, Vermont, home of many Durkees, a few Robinsons and it happens to be next door to Royalton, Windsor,  Vermont.  In fact, Julia Ann Tuller was Abiathar Smith Robinson's wife, and Julia's mother was Asenath Durkee b; 1814 in Royalton, Vermont.  

Elisha Durkee,  son of Andrew Durkee,  was born June 6, 1764 in Windham, Connecticut but died August 21, 1819 in Scipio, Cayuga, New York.  He was Asenath's 3rd cousin twice removed.  Elisha's wife was Hannah Gore.  Maybe she was an ancestor of Al Gore.  Hanna, born in Preston, New London, Connecticut, also died in Scipio, Cayuga, New York with her husband.  Their first child was Betsy Durkee who was the 1st child born in Scipio on December 9, 1790.                                    

SCIPIO. town in Cayuga County, New York was created on March 5, 1794, so Elisha and Hanna were true pioneers starting the community.  

Scipio was one of the original towns, having been formed March 5, 1794. Sempronious was taken off in 1799; a part of Marcellus (Onondaga County) in 1804. Ledyard, Venice and a part of Springport in 1823. It is located on the west shore of Owasco Lake, south of the center of the county and has a rolling surface, the highest summits being five hundred feet above the lake, a steep bluff twenty to fifty feet high extends along the lake and from its summit the land slopes gradually upward for about a mile. The streams are nothing but mere brooks and the soil is a clayey loam.

Scipio Center, contains two churches and about one hundred inhabitants; Scipioville near the west line is about the same size as also is Sherwoods near the southwest corner. The Square in the northwest part, and Bolts Corners, in the south part are hamlets.

In 1790, the first settlements were made, Elisha Durkee, Henry Watkins, Gilbert and Alanson Tracy, Samuel Branch, Ebenezer Witter, and Gideon Allen, being the pioneers. The first child born was Betsy Durkee, December 9, 1790. The first marriage was that of William Allen and Betsy Watkins, June 25, 1793. William Daniels taught the first school in 1798, and Doctor Strong kept the first store in 1808. The first religious services were held by Elder David Irish in 1794 and the first church (Baptist), was formed the same year.  

Abiathar's father, John and his father, Edward R Robinson were from Scipio, New York.  Edward R. Robinson was married to Eunice Rix and of course, Abiathar and Julia Ann's son was named Edward Rix Robinson, b: 1852.  9 months after they had married.  

Elisha Durkee's father was Andrew Durkee who was a private in the Revolutionary War.  Born in 1737 in Windham, Connecticut, he died in Hampton, Windham, Connecticut. He had married Mary Benjamin, daughter of Joseph Benjamin and Mary Clark. 

Back to his 3rd cousin, Asenath Durkee who was born in 1814 and was born and died in Royalton, Windsor, Vermont.  Her father was Heman Durkee, Jr. b: 1789, mother being Rebecca Hatch.  His father was Col. Heman Durkee born in Woodbury, Litchfield, Connecticut in 1759 whose wife was .Susanna Rix.  We remember that Abiathar Robinson's son's name was Rix Robinson.  His father's name was Lieutenant Timothy Lewis Durkee b: 1737 in Woodbury, Litchfield, Connecticut, too but died in Royalton, VT.  His father was Captain Nathaniel Durkee, born in 1702 in Ipswich, Massachusetts and died in Woodbury, Litchfield, Connecticut. Wouldn't you know it, but Julia Ann picked a Robinson, Abiathar Smith,  who never served in the army.   

The Durkees went back to Meath County, Ireland with William Durgy/ Durkee born between 1632-1634.  Our Robinson, Ken, tested showing an Irish connection to the Fitzpatrick line with the Big Y test.                                          

Elmhurst, New York Durkee spice tins. I haven't found them lately, must now be out of business.   

The Durkees are very well-known with their spices which was their business.

1. Descendants of JOHN ROBINSON, possible father                           

*2nd Wife of [1] JOHN ROBINSON, possible father:

.. +Eliza Fowler b: Abt. 1800 in Cayuga, Cayuga, New York d: 1849 in Ottawa, Michigan m: 1819 in Cayuga, Cayuga, New York Age at death: 49 est.; m: 1819 in Cayuga, Cayuga, New York Age at death: 49 est.

New York is a possible birth place since Abiathar slipped and said he was born there in the 1900 census.  Then he died in 1904.  Dementia?  Family forgetting where?  Vermont and New York are connected by history.  

The first John I've selected who married Eliza Fowler goes like this:

Abiathar to John,  to Edward R and Eunice Rix; to Edward Edwin and Susanna Rathbone;  to Edward and Martha Robinson;  to Francis and Elizabeth Lawton;  to Edward and Margaret Hull Hall both of England;  who landed in Newport, Rhode Island.....

Abiathar did have Rix in his 1st son's name.   

The other is:

2. Descendants of JOHN ROBINSON

1  [1] JOHN ROBINSON b: Bet. December 23, 1801 - 1802 in Calais, Washington, Vermont d: August 22, 1882 in Atherton, Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts Age at death: 80 est. Age at death: 80 est.

. +Hannah Taylor b: 1803 in Vermont d: 1851 in Calais, Washington, Vermont m: Abt. 1823 in prob. Calais, Washington, Vermont Age at death: 48 est. m: Abt. 1823 in prob. Calais, Washington, Vermont Age at death: 48 est.

*2nd Wife of [1] JOHN ROBINSON:

. +ELVIRA Eliza WATERMAN Cheney b: January 1824 in Canada d: 1901 in Royalton, Windsor, Vermont m: October 13, 1844 in Tunbridge, Orange, Vermont Age at death: 77 est. m: October 13, 1844 in Tunbridge, Orange, Vermont Age at death: 77 est.

*3rd Wife of [1] JOHN ROBINSON:

. +LUCY Hodgkins b: 1811 in Vermont d: October 21, 1880 in Calais, Washington, Vermont m: Abt. 1852 Age at death: 69 est. m: Abt. 1852 Age at death: 69 est.

The 2nd John who married Elvira Waterman goes like this: John to

Joel and Rachel Stevens of Calais, VT; to Capt. Samuel and Mary of

Calais; to Josiah and Anna Barton; to William and Elizabeth Upham;

to William and Elizabeth Cutter of England and Mass. to William and

Margaret Beach of Canterbury, Kent, England born in 1615, died in

Massachusetts

There have been two John Robinsons I have considered who was the 51 year old man living with Alonzo Tuller's family that included Julia Ann Tuller age 15 who married our Abiathar Smith Robinson in Tunbridge, Orange, Vermont in 1852.  He was given the age of 51 on the 1850 census and was the farmer in this family group in Royalton, Vermont while Alonzo was noted as a stone worker.  The census never identified the relationship.  That would mean John was born in 1799 in Vermont.  He could be Abiathar Smith Robinson's father.  Why he, a farmer, is living with Alonzo Tuller, a stone mason, but later, a farmer,  is unknown, but he's there in 1850.  

By February 29, 1852, Abiathar Smith Robinson is marrying Alonzo Tuller's daughter, Julia Ann in Tunbridge, Orange, Vermont, which is right next door to Royalton, Windsor, Vermont.  

I found Abiathar and Julia  on 1870 census in Wenona, Illinois, born in Vermont and next door to Albert Tuller, brother of Julia.  They were also in Wenona, Illinois in 1880.  On the 1900 census, Abiathar said he was born in New York.  Abiathar died in Wenona in 1904. Whoever was speaking to the census-taker didn't know;  maybe one of the children.  Abiathar died 4 years later, so he may not have been well.                                     

Interesting is that my grandfather named my uncle Edward Kenneth Robinson.  Did he know of this history or was it just his inclination to do so?  

On the other hand, looking at the family buried in Tunbridge in the Hunt Cemetery finds many of one family of James Robinson with wife, Mary Bicknell.

Over 13 Durkees, so many in Hunt Cemetery..a few in another.  Julia Ann Robinson nee Tuller's mother, Asenath was a Durkee.  No wonder they married in Tunbridge.  

So often I want to shout;  "Will the real father of Abiathar please stand up?"  Has the line ended with us?  We need other Robinsons DNA tested.  That's all I can say.  We're looking for a Y haplogroup of R-L21 or upgraded to R-FT 111213.

Holly Kay Waterman was the most helpful researcher of Robinson for me.  She was a cousin who was the librarian at Dartmouth.  University in Hanover, New Hampshire.  She drove to Vermont on occasion looking in state records for our ancestors.  

Holly was born in 1956, slightly younger than my own two children.  She died of cancer sometime after 2014.  

Holly's mother was Irma Alice Tullar who is on our Tuller/ar trees. She was born Oct 16,  1926 in Cornith Center,  Orange, Vermont.  Tunbridge is also in Orange, Vermont and next door to Royalton, Windham, Vermont. Irma's father was Charles Earnest Tullar b: 1888 in Vershire, Orange, Vermont.  His father was George Albert Tullar b: 1857 also in Vershire, but died in Cornith, Vermont.  His father was Rogers Harrison Tullar b;1919 St. Albans, Bay, and finally, his father was a Samuel Tuller/Tullar b: 1786 of St Albans, Franklin,  Vermont.  That must be where the separation of the Tullers came to be.  The story I heard was that there was a disagreement and one line became er and the other ar.  Only DNA can tell us a story about it and no one has reached this time or taken the test. His father was Reuben Tuller/ar b; 1751 in Simsbury, Hartford, Connecticut, and his father was James Tuller/ar b: 1713  of either Bedford County, England or already in Simsbury, CT.  

 William Tuller, b: 1687 was in Simsbury as well for birth and death.  So was his father,  John Tulloe Tuller b: 1642-1659 in Simsbury, CT.  Lastly, William Tuller was born in Holland (Nederlands)  in came over in 1620--on one of the ships after Mayflower maybe in the fleet in 1630 and arrived in New York.  

Confusion of "Teller" and "Tuller"

Some Internet sources identify "William Tuller" (apparently referring to this man) and Margaret Donaldson (apparently referring to Margaret Duncanson) as the parents of John Tuller of Simsbury, Connecticut (born about 1652). There is no basis for this association. John Tuller's origins are unknown; Donald Lines Jacobus identified John Tuller as "of unknown antecedents."

William Teller (abt. 1620 - abt. 1701)

William (Willem) Teller aka Tuller

Born about 1620 in Shetland, Scotland [uncertain]

ANCESTORS 

Son of Romanus Teller Jr. and Lea Toors

[sibling(s) unknown]

Husband of Margaret Duncanson — married 6 Feb 1639 in Amsterdam, Holland, Netherlands

Husband of Maria (Varleth) Verleth — married 4 May 1664 in Brooklyn, Kings, NY

DESCENDANTS 

Father of Andries Teller, Helena (Teller) Rombouts, Maria Teller, Caspar Teller, Elizabeth Teller, Jacobus Willemse Teller, William Teller Jr., Johannes Teller and Jannetje Willemse (Teller) Schuyler

Died about 1701 at about age 81 in New York County (Manhattan), New York

My PS;  they should check out the difference between Teller and Tuller via DNA.  I'm not sure

 they are the same line this far back.  .

 Nadene Goldfoot                                            

 John Robinson (1576–1625) was the pastor of the "Pilgrim Fathers" before they left on the Mayflower. He became one of the early leaders of the English Separatists called Brownists, and is regarded (along with Robert Browne and Henry Barrow) as one of the founders of the Congregational Church.   His son was probably the 1st Robinson to land in America as John stayed in Holland.  Evidently other Robinsons also left England and Scotland and Ireland and set sail for America, too.  Our line is not of this John's line.  John and Bridget White had 7 children.  

New England was full of Robinsons.  My opinion is that tracing a Robinson line is one of the most difficult tasks in genealogy.  So much depends on the census information from 1799 onwards, and especially from 1850 and on, sticking with the same wife, etc.   

The sure fact we have is the Big Y test of descendants' DNA results.  That is one way we can tell if we are connected to that famous Pastor John Robinson and his line or not. Our line has been tested and we are a rare group going back to Irish roots of R-FT111213, specifically with the Fitzpatrick Clan.    When my male cousin Ken was tested originally, the result of a 25 allele Y test was something like R1b1a2a1a1b4, then later as we tested more, into R-L21.  

Pastor John Robinson must have had descendants that had kept their births in a large old bible for starters, and then kept it going.  My grandmother had done that for her husband, Abiathar Smith Robinson born December 1829, in Vermont with possibilities of it being New York as someone suggested that for his place of birth on one of the census information.  The others said Vermont, so Vermont it is.  He was caught on one marrying Julia Ann Tuller in Tunbridge, Orange, Vermont.  The next census found him till death living in Wenona, Marshall, Illinois.  At one time they were even living in upper Canada, the English part where a couple of their children were born.

So it's been a great challenge to decide who could have possibly been Abiathar's  parents.  

I have a few people who match us with the Y DNA.  Dyer is one and the closest, James Alton Robinson  of Maine another up to a point.

So considering all this and wanting the last Robinson to be Irish/Scotch, as that seems to come together in history, I found someone.  I'm sticking with that John Robinson age 51 on the Tuller family 1850 census of Royalton, Windsor, Vermont in which Julia Ann Tuller was living with her parents at age 15.  He seems to be the best candidate for Abiathar's father. 

 The John living with the Tullers seemed to be a John Robinson from Calais, Washington, Vermont, which is a straight shot north of Tunbridge in Vermont.  The distance was about 39 miles from Tunbridge.  

It led me from a John Robinson 51 years old in 1850 to Joel Robinson b: 1772 in Massachusetts and wife Rachel Stevens;  then to Captain Samuel Robinson b: 1742 Massachusetts and wife Mary H;  then to Josiah Robinson b: 1711 Massachusetts and wife Anna Barton, then William Robinson b: 1673 Massachusetts and wife Elizabeth Upham, and then William Robinson b: 1640 Bristol, Glouchester, or Yorkshire, England who died in Cambridge, Massachusetts and  wife Elizabeth Cutter;   then William Robinson b; 1614 Canterbury, Kent, England and wife Margaret Beach and lastly John Robinson b: 1588 in Barton St. David, Somerset, England d: Dorchester, Suffolk, Massachusetts and wife Agnes Street.  So our Irish roots are even earlier than this.  

Dorchester is a Boston neighborhood comprising more than 6 square miles (16 km²) in the City of Boston, Massachusetts, United States. Originally, Dorchester was a separate town, founded by Puritans who emigrated in 1630 from Dorchester, Dorset, England, to the Massachusetts Bay Colony. 

The neighborhood is named after the town of Dorchester in the English county of Dorset, from which Puritans emigrated on the ship Mary and John, among others.

Going back 8 generations, I ended with another John Robinson b: 1588, in Barton St. David, Somerset, England married to Agnes Street.  John died in 1693 in Dorchester, Suffolk, Massachusetts.  He was found by some other Robinson  researcher and I used his work.

Only going back 3 generations, I had found some interesting possible ancestors:

Descendants of Samuel Robinson, Captain:  He must have been in the was of 1812 against the British.

Colonel Jacob Davis named Calais after the French port city of the same name, during a time of general enthusiasm for things French as a result of France's aid during the American Revolution.The Wheelocks and Parkers were the first families to settle the town, in the latter part of the 18th century. In the early and mid 19th century, the Vermont wool industry spawned sheep pastures in the town. Photographs of the time show a heavily de-forested Calais. Like many small Vermont towns, Calais was devastated by the Civil War. Volunteers from Calais flocked to the Union cause, most serving in the Army's volunteer regiments. In the post-Civil War era, agriculture turned from sheep to dairy, and new families came to fill farms that were sold by the families and widows of Civil War veterans.  I remember seeing Parker on many of the early census with our Robinson people.  

Right now, it's interesting to me to see these historic people and how long they lived without our modern medicine.  Right now, I'm using Eliquis, a pill to keep me from having a stroke-hopefully.  My mother had a terrible stroke at age 90 when her doctor refused to put her on this med as she might fall on her very thick and plush carpeting throughout her home and bleed to death !  That was in 2004-2005.

Rix Robinson (1789–1875) was a Michigan pioneer. He was a fur trader and the first permanent Euro-American settler of Kent County, Michigan, a representative to the state constitutional convention of 1850 and a state senator.

Robinson was born August 28, 1789, in Richmond, Massachusetts. His parents were Edward and Eunice (Rix) Robinson of Preston, Connecticut. His father was a blacksmith and farmer. He was considered a studious child and regularly attended school. At age 19 he began the study of law in Auburn, New York, and was admitted to practice law in 1811. At the outbreak of the War of 1812, which his father strongly opposed, Robinson headed west to avoid the draft, with one thousand dollars given to him by his father. He moved to the large outpost of Detroit in the Michigan Territory where United States Troops were garrisoned and there was a prospering fur trade.
