I was hoping for this line, but it doesn't work.
In the 18th century, the spring at Stafford Springs was famous for its reputed ability to cure "the gout, sterility, pulmonary, hysterics, etc." In 1771, John Adams, then a young lawyer, visited Stafford Springs for several days after suffering from overwork and anxiety.
This is where my records show that Benjamin Robinson and Jerusha Bingham, man and wife, were buried.

Wells is a town in York County, Maine, United States. Founded in 1643, it is the third-oldest town in Maine. The population was 11,314 at the 2020 census. Wells Beach is a popular summer destination.
Edmund Littlefield, an immigrant from the wool regions of Titchfield, England, built the first gristmill and later a woolen mill on the Webhannet River, becoming known as "The Father of Wells," where a monument commemorates his contribution. In 1622, the Plymouth Company in England awarded to Sir Ferdinando Gorges, Lord Proprietor of Maine, territory which included the Plantation of Wells. His young cousin, Thomas Gorges, acting as deputy and agent, in 1641 granted to Rev. John Wheelwright and other settlers from Exeter, New Hampshire the right to populate the land from northeast of the Ogunquit River to southwest of the Kennebunk River. Following the death of the elder Gorges in 1647, the Massachusetts Bay Colony laid claim to Maine. On July 5, 1653, Wells was incorporated, the third town in Maine to do so, and named after Wells, England, a small cathedral city in the county of Somerset.
After the restoration of Charles II and a meeting in Wells of the trustees of the late Ferdinando Gorges, the British authorities gave a general outline for the local civil and military administration on December 7, 1661.[4] Wells included Kennebunk, which was set off the year Maine became a state in 1820, and Ogunquit, designated a village within Wells by the legislature in 1913, then set off in 1980.[5]
Wells was the resilient northeastern frontier of English colonial settlement. Except for a few forts and garrisons, early attempts to colonize Maine above Wells were abandoned because of attacks by Native Americans, who resented the encroachment on their territory. Wells endured three major attacks, most famously the Raid on Wells in 1692. The region became less dangerous, however, after the Battle of Louisburg in 1745.[5]
Many early Wells settlers joined the Continental Army; some became Revolutionary War heroes, including Captains Samuel Gooch, Nathanial Littlefield, and Jeremiah Storer. Ocean View Cemetery on Post Road contains a Civil War monument and plot honoring its service members. Visitors can walk to Founder's Park just off of Post Road onto Sanford Road, which includes a light walking trail, picnic area, and the first settlement home. Monuments list the names of Wells' founding families.
The town developed as a farming community, producing hay and vegetables. Other industries included shipbuilding and fisheries. In the 19th century, with the arrival of the railroad, the town's sandy beaches attracted tourists. Many inns and hotels were built along the seashore. Today, tourism remains important to the economy.[6]

He died on March 4, 1764, and is buried near the old Presbyterian Meetinghouse. Moses and Mary’s children were: Moses Jr. (m. Jane McFarlane), Joseph (b.1725; m. ?

Rebecca Minot; lived in Warren in 1737), Hanse (b. about 1735 in Cushing, District of Maine; m. Bridget Hyler) and, Mary (b. about 1739; m. Mathew Kelloch). ____________________
Bryant Robinson was born before 1714 in Nequasset, District of Maine. He married Jane Savage. He died after 1774 in Georgetown.
The point is that our Robinson DNA goes back to Ireland and to the Fitzpatrick Clan. I have a DNA connection of Robinson that is in Maine.
Sherie LaPere and her twin, Sherie LaPere, both match me strongly.
3/20/17 DNA match Sherie LaPere 's 2 Robinsons are a John Robinson ???and son Jacob Robinson b: 1790 d: Oct 14, 1867 at age 77 years on findagrave.com.
