Events Leading to the Robinson's Move to Upper Canada From Vermont
Nadene Goldfoot
Julia Ann Tuller was born in 1834 and raised in Royalton, Windsor, Vermont where she met and married Abiathar Smith Robinson February 29, 1852 in Tunbridge, Orange, Vermont. Their first child, Edward Rix Robinson, was born in Vermont by November 1852 as well as their 2nd son, Edgar in 1853, but by October 1857, their daughter, Nellie Elizabeth was born in Upper Canada in the English speaking area. Then in August of 1861 another daughter, Emma Hattie was born in Canada as well as another son, John C by April 1864 in Montreal, Canada-another English speaking area.
The USA census of 1870 finds that the family had returned to the states and had settled in Wenona, Marshall, Illinois. Julia Ann and Abiathar are buried in the Wenona Cemetery.

Upper Canada is mentioned. Where was that?
"The Province of Upper Canada (French: province du Haut-Canada) was a part of British Canada established in 1791 by the United Kingdom, in order to govern the central third of the lands in British North America and to accommodate Loyalist refugees of the United States after the American Revolution. The new province remained, for the next fifty years of growth and settlement, the colonial government of the territory.

October 19, 1864 - St. Albans Raid - 25 Confederate States of America soldiers using Montréal as a base raid St. Albans, Vermont; they rob three banks of $200,000, torch the town and kill one person. "On October 19, 1864, St. Albans was the site of the St. Albans Raid, the northernmost Confederate land action of the American Civil War, which was an enemy cavalry raid and bank robbery across the border from Quebec, Canada.. References to "St. Albans" prior to this date generally refer to the town center, which now belongs to the city. The town was incorporated in 1859, and the city in 1902.]
1865 Julia Robinson born listed on 1870 census as born in Wenona, Marshall, Illinois
October 10, 1865 - Delegates Meet at the Québec Conference to Plan Confederation. They identify the Seventy Two Resolutions that set out the basis for union; to October 27, 1865.
1867, July 1; Canada divided into Provinces of Ontario and Quebec.
1869 William S Robinson born in Wenona Marshall, Illinois
1870 Frank Hugh Robinson born on June 21 in Wenona (my grandfather)
1870 USA Census: Abiathar and family are in Wenona, Marshall, Illinois.
1875 Minnie J. Robinson born in Wenona.
1879 Arthur Roy Robinson born in Wenona.
1883 Coal mine in Wenona which offers jobs. " The principal mine in this county is located at Wenona, on the Illinois Central railroad, and is operated by the Wenona Coal Company. The mine is comparatively new. It went into operation in the summer of 1883."
St. Albans, Franklin, Vermont was about 100 miles or less to Royalton, Windsor, Vermont. It is a major port for immigration to and from Canada. One would think that this Robinson family would have known about the Underground Railroad's goings on. After all, I do not know for sure what town Abiathar was born in. I do know he was living in Tunbridge, Orange County in 1852 when he was 23 years old. It's even possible that some of the St. Albans' Robinsons could have been their relatives. findagrave.com lists 152 Robinsons in Franklin County.
It may be that Julia Ann was the instigator of moving to Upper Canada, especially to Ontario. Her mother was Asenith Durkee and they must have had lots of relatives up there. There were many Durkees living throughout the area. For example, there was a Sarah Durkee who married on January 2, 1860 in Oxford, Ontario, Canada. An Ontario death happened to William Durkee at age 76 with parents Myran Durkee born in Smithville and Elizabeth Meredith. William's wife was Ellen Durkee. Gladys Durkee used the St. Albans Vermont Boarder Crossing in 1895 to go to Norwich, Canada.
I even found a Sarah Fannie Tuller, 5'7" green eyed 34 year old lady crossing from Madoc, Ontario, Canada to Vermont in 1895. Sarah was heading for Michigan for a permanent stay. She was Welsh! Ah ha! The biggest puzzle I've had is that my grandfather, Frank Hugh Robinson had said that they were from Wales. DNA shows we have mostly Irish matches. That must have come from Julia Ann Tuller and not Abiathar and the Robinsons. I've just found her buried in Madoc, Canada. I thought she would stay in Michigan. https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=159526489 . I have found 14 Tullers in Upper Canada on this website and also 139 Durkees.
I have found that Rowland T. Robinson of Ferrisburgh, Vermont was active in helping with the Underground Railroad. " Rowland Thomas Robinson (1796-1879) made abolition the cause of his life
and sheltered fugitives at Rokeby,his home in Ferrisburgh, Addison, Vermont. Both Thomas, his father, and Rowland T. Robinson
managed the family's grist and saw mills and built up one of Addison
County's largest sheep farms during the early decades of the 19th century.
Rowland Thomas's son Rowland Evans Robinson (1833-1900) was an artist and
author; he wrote a series of folktales, published by Houghton Mifflin, that
were enormously popular in Vermont at the turn of the century as well as
several Underground Railroad stories. Of his children, Rachel (1878-1919)
became a successful commercial artist, Mary (1884-1931) worked as a
botanical artist before becoming a wife and mother, and Rowland Thomas
(1882-1951) tended the family farm, now converted from sheep to dairy.
"Rowlie," as he was known, and his wife Elizabeth did not have children, and
when she died in 1961, she left the site to be operated as a museum.

| Map of Upper Canada (in orange) with contemporary Canada (in pink) surrounding it |
"The Province of Upper Canada (French: province du Haut-Canada) was a part of British Canada established in 1791 by the United Kingdom, in order to govern the central third of the lands in British North America and to accommodate Loyalist refugees of the United States after the American Revolution. The new province remained, for the next fifty years of growth and settlement, the colonial government of the territory.
Upper Canada existed from 26 December 1791 to 10 February 1841 and generally comprised present-day Southern Ontario. The "upper" prefix in the name reflects its geographic position being closer to the headwaters of the Saint Lawrence River than that of Lower Canada (or present-day Quebec) to the northeast.
Upper Canada included all of modern-day Southern Ontario and all those areas of Northern Ontario in the Pays d'en Haut which had formed part of New France, essentially the watersheds of the Ottawa River or Lakes Huron and Superior, excluding any lands within the watershed of Hudson Bay."

Henri Le Caron, who, while acting as a secret agent of the British government, held the position of "Inspector-General of the Irish Republican Army", asserted that he distributed fifteen thousand stands of arms and almost three million rounds of ammunition in the care of the many trusted men stationed between New York and St. Albans, in preparation for the unsuccessful Fenian raid on Canada which took place in April 1870.

| Ferrisburgh, Addison, Vermont's Rokeby |
"The house was the home for almost 200 years of the Robinson family, who were millers, farmers, abolitionists, authors, naturalists, and artists. In the 1830s and 1840s, under the auspices of Rowland Thomas Robinson, Rokeby served as a safe house along the Underground Railroad. Letters from the family of Rowland T. and Rachel Gilpin Robinson, devout Quakers and radical abolitionists, mention fugitive slaves by name and in some detail. The record of their correspondence gives an important view into the practices and methods of abolitionists and the details of the operation of the Underground Railroad
Next question should be, why immigrate to Illinois, and especially to Wenona? In 2010 it had only 1,056 people and that was going down from 2000. I visited the cemetery a number of years ago and it is a very very small town. What was that attraction? The cemetery was gorgous, and the soup and hamburger were the best in the USA, I think, but what could have attracted people 150 years ago? I saw lovely fields of corn growing alongside the road to the cemetery. The fertile land must have attracted them as everyone in those days were farmers. Abiathar did have a farm in Wenona and a field with a horse and a bull, that I know. My grandfather, Frank Hugh Robinson was a teamster and could manage 4 horses together for his wagon. He had a favorite horse as a kid. His parents were very religious and very strict: possibly Methodists who did not work on Sundays of any sort.

by Jane Williamson.
There is a Rowland Robinson in my name bank. Could he be an ancestor of this Abolitionist? He was born earlier and to a John Robinson: I don't know if we are connected to this line or not. Update: Through Geni.com, I find we are not connected at all. "Rowland Robinson, the primitive of our family in this country, was born in 1654, at or near a place called Long Bluff, in Cumberland, England. He came to this country in 1675, married Mary, the daughter or John and Mary Allen, in 1676, who were from Barnstable, England. Her mother's name before marriage was Bacon, who was born also in Barnstable. Rowland Robinson died at his residence, situated near the pond or cove of Pettaquamscutt river, in 1716, aged 62 years. His wife was born in 1656, and died in 1706, aged 50 years. They were both buried in the Narragansett Friends - called Quakers - burial ground, Kingston, now South Kingston - , about two miles south of Tower Hill village. Their graves are in the north-east corner of the burial ground. Mr. Robinson ." His descendants went to Rhode Island-Hon William and Abigail; Thomas and Sarah, Thomas Richardson and Jemima.

Robinson, Our Perfect R1b...R-L21 DNA Title
Nadene Goldfoot
Not all Robinsons are R1b, and not all are R-L21. In fact, out of a Robinson study, we were one of two people listed with this exact title. On a large Robinson study, we are the only other person with a DSY #393=12 and not 13 or another higher number. We also have the 390 as a 21 and not a 24 or another number. so our Y haplogroup starts off as 12-21-14-11-11-14-12-12-12- 13-13-29.
This seems to go along with the fact that I cannot find out exactly who our great grandfather's father was. Abiathar Smith Robinson, born in December of 1829 in New York or Vermont, is without a father. I've found so many who would be ideal.
The Hg R1b-L21 Distribution centers in Great Britain, seemingly in Ireland since we had so many matches from there. A David Reynolds has his name on the map showing such distribution from NW ISOGG.
Our great grandfather, Abiathar, passed his genes onto our generation and our cousin, Kenneth tested. David Reynolds shows that R1b1a2a1a1b....P312/S116 evolved with increasing detail to the next state which is our state: R1b1a2a1a1b4...or R-L21/ There is more said of others...M529/S145, L459.
The male line is more interesting to study, I believe, than the female mt haplogroup The Y-DNA, is passed unchanged from father to son. All descendants of a man, in a straight male line of descent, will share the same Y-DNA. That's true also for the female, but our names keep changing. Also, the dna for the female comes from a different part of the cell.
The Y haplogroup will have some mutations happening. That's what makes it possible to trace.
The evolution of R1b men has gone from East to West in their evolution. The question has been whether or not our origin was in ancient Anatolia (Turkey) or Assyria. This must account for the DYS being a 12 as there is no % of my cousins's origins in the Middle East. He has 11% of his DNA from the British Isles. I only have 3% from the British Isles but my brother has 45% What a disparity here!
This old news is most interesting to me about matching to Kings and Queens of Great Britain. I HAVE traced our line to the Royals through not a Robinson but through an Ann Hyde. If I chose the correct father to Abiathar, we might be able to claim that route also, but through Abiathar's wife, we have the Hydes, and Ann Hyde is the connection. Ann had married Descendants of King James, II, Duke of York and VII, Ann is half 3rd cousin 10 times removed to my Robinson cousin.

However, " July 16, 2012 -- BIG NEWS! The Royal House of Stewart is R-L21! Richard Scott, the 10th Duke of Buccleuch, was tested and found to be L744+ L745+ (L21>DF13>DF41>L744>L745) and an exact match (on how many markers?) of a descendant of Charles Stewart of Ardshiel, who fought at Culloden. The House of Stewart produced a number of famous kings and queens of Scotland and England, including James VI/I (of Scotland and England, respectively) of King James Bible fame. If you are interested in this and have tested DF13+, test for DF41 first. If you get a DF41+ result, then follow up by testing for L744. If you get an L744+ result, then test for L745."

Not all Robinsons are R1b, and not all are R-L21. In fact, out of a Robinson study, we were one of two people listed with this exact title. On a large Robinson study, we are the only other person with a DSY #393=12 and not 13 or another higher number. We also have the 390 as a 21 and not a 24 or another number. so our Y haplogroup starts off as 12-21-14-11-11-14-12-12-12- 13-13-29.
This seems to go along with the fact that I cannot find out exactly who our great grandfather's father was. Abiathar Smith Robinson, born in December of 1829 in New York or Vermont, is without a father. I've found so many who would be ideal.
 |
| Abiathar, born December 1829 with the beard and his son, Frank Hugh Robinson b: 1871. Abiathar had 10 children and Frank was #8. Julia died at 52 after having 10 children. Nellie, Emma and John were born in Canada, where the family went during the Civil War. They returned not to Vermont when it was over but to Wenona, Illinois. |
Our great grandfather, Abiathar, passed his genes onto our generation and our cousin, Kenneth tested. David Reynolds shows that R1b1a2a1a1b....P312/S116 evolved with increasing detail to the next state which is our state: R1b1a2a1a1b4...or R-L21/ There is more said of others...M529/S145, L459.
The male line is more interesting to study, I believe, than the female mt haplogroup The Y-DNA, is passed unchanged from father to son. All descendants of a man, in a straight male line of descent, will share the same Y-DNA. That's true also for the female, but our names keep changing. Also, the dna for the female comes from a different part of the cell.
The Y haplogroup will have some mutations happening. That's what makes it possible to trace.

| The location of Turkey (within the rectangle) in reference to the European continent. Anatolia roughly corresponds to the Asian part of Turkey, except the eastern parts historically known as the Armenian Highlands. |
This old news is most interesting to me about matching to Kings and Queens of Great Britain. I HAVE traced our line to the Royals through not a Robinson but through an Ann Hyde. If I chose the correct father to Abiathar, we might be able to claim that route also, but through Abiathar's wife, we have the Hydes, and Ann Hyde is the connection. Ann had married Descendants of King James, II, Duke of York and VII, Ann is half 3rd cousin 10 times removed to my Robinson cousin.

However, " July 16, 2012 -- BIG NEWS! The Royal House of Stewart is R-L21! Richard Scott, the 10th Duke of Buccleuch, was tested and found to be L744+ L745+ (L21>DF13>DF41>L744>L745) and an exact match (on how many markers?) of a descendant of Charles Stewart of Ardshiel, who fought at Culloden. The House of Stewart produced a number of famous kings and queens of Scotland and England, including James VI/I (of Scotland and England, respectively) of King James Bible fame. If you are interested in this and have tested DF13+, test for DF41 first. If you get a DF41+ result, then follow up by testing for L744. If you get an L744+ result, then test for L745."

Robinson-Durkee-Tuller in Royalton and Tunbridge Vermont and the Indian Raid of 1780
Nadene Goldfoot
I have known about the famous Indian raid on Royalton, Vermont in which the Durkee children were taken but hadn't realized that Tunbridge had been attacked as well. My ggrandfather, Abiathar Smith Robinson, living in Tunbridge, Orange, Vermont, had married Julia Ann Tuller of Royalton, Windsor, Vermont on February 29, 1852 by Reverend Alva Button, justice of the peace. Julia's mother was Asenith Durkee, married to Alonzo Charles Tuller. The Tullers had come from St. Albans, Franklin, Vermont.
The Durkee Family Newsletter of Spring 1993 told all about the Indian raid. Timothy Durkee's family is one who suffered from it. Only his oldest son, Heman, had remained living in Royalton afterwards. Harvey stayed in Vermont but the others moved on to New York. Grandchildren spread far and wide.
"The Royalton raid was a British-led Indian raid in 1780 against various towns along the White River Valley in the Vermont Republic, and was part of the American Revolutionary War. It was the last major Indian raid in New England.
The Durkee Family Newsletter of Spring 1993 told all about the Indian raid. Timothy Durkee's family is one who suffered from it. Only his oldest son, Heman, had remained living in Royalton afterwards. Harvey stayed in Vermont but the others moved on to New York. Grandchildren spread far and wide.
"The Royalton raid was a British-led Indian raid in 1780 against various towns along the White River Valley in the Vermont Republic, and was part of the American Revolutionary War. It was the last major Indian raid in New England.
In the early morning hours of October 16, 1780, Lieutenant Houghton of the British Army's 53rd Regiment of Foot and a single Grenadier, along with 300 Mohawk warriors from the Kahnawake Reserve in the British province of Quebec, attacked and burned the towns of Royalton, Sharon and Tunbridge along the White River in eastern Vermont. This raid was launched in conjunction with other raids led by MajorChristopher Carleton of the 29th Regiment of Foot along the shores of Lake Champlain and Lake George and Sir John Johnson of the King's Royal Regiment of New York in the Mohawk River valley. Four Vermont settlers were killed and twenty six were taken prisoner to Quebec."
About 300 Indians from various tribes led by the Caghnewaga tribe, had left Canada intending to destroy Newbury in eastern Vermont and were turned towards Royalton. They went through the white River, through Chelsea and Tunbridge, to Royalton. They "laid in their encampment at Tunbridge during the Sabbath. They were discovered on Monday at dawn when they entered the house of Mr. John Hutchinson who lived not far from the line between Royalton from Tunbridge. They took him prisoner wih his brother, Abijah, and plundered the house. Then they went to the house of Robert Havens. They chased Thomas Pember and was near enough to throw a spear at him. Then he was scalped. He had been courting Mr. Haven's daughter who he wanted to marry. This house became the Indians' rallying point. Next to be speared was Elias Button, probably a relation to the justice of peace in Tunbridge in 1852. He was scalped as well. Next stop was in taking many male prisoners in a home. Mrs. Curtis was about to have her neck cut, but the Indian was more interested in the gold beads around her neck and stopped and took the beads, instead. They plundered every house.
They came to the house of Deacon Daniel Rix. General Stevens took Mrs Rix and 2 or 3 children on his horse, and Captain Parkhurst took Mrs. Benton and several children on his horse and they all rode off with Deacon Rix and several others on foot to a place where they had received the alarm. He left the women and children to rode to his own house but ran into the Indians 1/2 mile down the road. He got to his own mother and sister and put them on his horse. At any rate, the Indians took Mrs. Rix's oldest son from her and ordered her and her other children to leave the house. She did with 5 of her children. They took Gardner Rix, son of Deacon Rix, 14, just at the heels of his mother's horse, while she had to watch. She got on a horse with 3 of her children.
The Indians set fire to General Stevens' house and barn. Then they took the Durkee boys, Adan and Andrew, prisoner. and carried the former to Canada, who died there in prison. Some children were rescued by a Mrs. Hendee. She savedAndrew and Sheldon durkee, Joseph Rix, Rufus Rix and others. She later moved to Sharon, Vermont. Adan Durkee died in camp at Montreal.
Census records were started 10 years later in 1790. They listed only the head of the household as a name. The wife and children were listed as tally marks under age brackets.
By the time the local militia could assemble, Houghton and his command were already on their way back north. The militia caught up with the raiders near Randolph, Vermont, and a few volleys were fired back and forth, but when Houghton said that the remaining captives might be killed by the Mohawks if fighting continued, the local militia let the raiders slip away. A plaque at the East Randolph cemetery marks the site of this event.
The Hannah Handy monument, on the South Royalton town green, is a granite arch honoring a young mother who lost her young son in the raid, crossed the river, and successfully begged for the return of several children. With the assistance of one of the Mohawk, she caught up with the British and Mohawk party and pleaded with Lieutenant Houghton to release the young boys now being held by the Indians, partly appealing as a mother of one of the captives and partly by arguing that they wouldn't survive the trip to Canada and stating that their deaths would be on his hands. The British leader ordered the boys released to the woman for safe return to their families.
Asenith's father was Heman Durkee b: 1789 after the raid. He was born and had died in Royalton .Asenith's mother was Rebecca Hatch. born in Sharon in 1791 but died in Royalton in 1872.
Heman's father was Col. Heman Durkee b: 1759 in Woodbury, Connecticut who had moved to Royalton. He must have been there in 1780 as he died there in 1797. His wife was Susanna Rix.
Sharon, Windsor, Vermont had a few Hatches. Abner Hatch in 1790 had a family of 8.
Isaac Hatch had a family of 3. This was Rebecca's father. Remember, she was married to Heman Durkee.
Adam Hatch of Norwich, Windsor, Vermont, had a family of 6. They weren't mentioned in the Indian raid. Benjamin Hatch of Norwich had a family of 10.
Joseph Hatch had a family of 11 in Norwich.
John Hatch had 7 in his family. Rufus Hatch had 4 in Norwich.
On the 1790 census of Royalton was Heman or Herman Durkee with a family of 7.
Timothy Durkee had a family of 5. This was repeated. Probably the same family.
In Tunbridge was Solomon Durkee with his family of 5.
Daniel Rix was in Royalton with his family of 6.
"On the morning of October 16, the large force of Indians attacked the small town of Royalton, which was then a village of about 25 homes on both sides of the river. The Indians went from house to house capturing as many residents as they could and killing anyone who resisted. Most of the town's residents were captured, while a few escaped or hid. As the Indians left town, they burned the buildings and destroyed any crops and livestock they found. The attack continued up and down the river for several miles, with the settlements of Sharon and Tunbridge suffering the same fate.
Four settlers were killed in the Royalton Raid and 26 were taken captive. They were marched to Canada and sold to the British where some spent as long as two years in dismal prisons. Just as the Revolution came to an end, one of the captives taken in the raid, Zadock Steele, helped stage a prison break from the notorious Prison Island in the St. Lawrence River. Steele traipsed across the wilderness for three weeks, nearly starved, before he came to an American settlement. Unbeknownst to him, the war had already ended and all the remaining prisoners had been released."
The Raid was conducted by a war party of 265 Mohawks and Abenakis, commanded by a British officer, Lieutenant Richard Houghton, who was operating under orders from the British high command in Canada, Lieutenant General Frederick Haldemand. It was all part of the British War effort.
As for Robinsons, we had them in Orange County, the same that Tunbridge is in. Perhaps they were spared.
Strafford is the closest. It is 6.16 miles from Tunbridge. Tunbridge to Royalton is about 5.72 miles.
The town of Tunbridge was created on September 3, 1761, by way of a royal charter which King George III of England issued to Governor Benning Wentworth of New Hampshire.
The name Tunbridge was chosen by Wentworth and most likely in honor of (or to gain favor with), the English noble William Henry Nassau de Zuylestein (1717-1781), fourth Earl of Rochford, Viscount Tunbridge, Baron Enfield and Colchester. De Zuylstein's secondary title is derived from the old "royal borough" of Tunbridge Wells (officially Royal Tunbridge Wells) in England.
1. Abraham Robinson had a family of 6.
2. Daniel Robinson had 11 in his family. He most likely is Abiathar's grandfather. The ancestor would not have been John Robinson, Reverend from Holland who sent the Pilgrims on the Mayflower, but a possible Scottish George Robinson, instead.
They were listed one under the other, so must have been brothers. In 1790 there were no ages of the heads of family or any other information. I guess we're lucky that this little bit has survived.
3. Northfield, Orange, Vermont is 26 miles away from Tunbridge. We have Amos Robinson with 7 in his family from there.
4. Nathaniel Robinson had 5 in his family.
5. Williamstown, Orange, Vermont had Ezekiel Robinson with 4. The distance is 15.17 miles to Tunbridge.
6. Barnet, Orange, Vermont had John with a family of 4. It's about 35 miles distant from Tunbridge.
7. Topsham, Orange, Vermont had another John and just 2 in his family. They are about 20 miles apart, 29 by driving.
8. Ryegate Orange, Vermont had a Jonathan with 5. Ryegate, chartered in 1763, is the southernmost community in the Northeast Kingdom (Caledonia County), nestled along the Connecticut River and bordered by Newbury, Groton, and Barnet. I guess it's out of the Orange County area today.
9. Fairley, Orange, Vermont had Samuel with 5. 28.5 miles is how far apart they are with Tunbridge.
