Robinson Genealogy

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:

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

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

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.

 Also in Hunt Cemetery in Tunbridge, Orange, VT  are:

2. Raymond Martin  Tuller b: 7 April 1904 d: 22 Oct 1975.  

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.
