Robinson Genealogy

Nadene Goldfoot                                          
Ah, shucks.  It has taken DNA matches to veer me straight into Abiathar Smith Robinson's father and he isn't a John after all.  It has to be Israel Robinson born in 1800 which isn't far off of the pre-thought John Robinson, living in Julia Ann Tuller's home in 1850 in Royalton Vermont that I thought might be his father.  This line is connected to the 17 Bartletts we have, and a lot of Smiths connected to them.  It was the Robinson and Bartlett surnames that led me to someone I had matched several years ago on 23& Me, and now we had both moved over to Family Tree DNA and have been really working on it.  Between here and GedMatch and trying our hand at triangulation with another match, we finally found a connection on the tree.

The oral history of Abiathar coming from NY seems to hold water now.  I don't know what I"ll do about other stories like the Rix part of the family.  Maybe that will connect.  One can see from this tree that people had more than 2 children long ago, so maybe there's also another path other than all this one that will connect.

No, Israel is going to head straight to THE JOHN RobinsonREVEREND and BRIDGET WHITE who sent Pilgrims living in Holland to America on the Mayflower after all.  What I'm going to do about our DNA DYS 393 being a 12, and not a 13, I don't know.  but we match a DNA match found on FTDNA, and this is science.  I cannot ignore this match that we have with myself, my brother and 1st male cousin.  We're collecting more matches besides to ultimately connect to our tree through DNA.  I'll show our tree from Major Ebenezer Robinson:
PS, I see this line also holds another try at Abiathar's father where I show Abiathar in blue.  I once thought that the James Robinson could have been his father.

Some people don't understand why we pursue such a hobby as genealogy.  Well, it's personal.  It's our family and who we come from.  It's why we laugh or cry, feel nervous or sad or happy.  We are made up of certain people throughout the ages and inherit some of their traits as well as their faults, problems, etc.  Now, the finding of others, knowing we share something of ourselves with them, is detective work.  It's solving a puzzle work.  It's so exciting to track down a clue.  The ultimate now is to have their picture and information automatically click into my tree once I find where they belong on my FTDNA tree !  

Nadene Goldfoot                                  
I haven't been this excited over my mother's family tree in a long time.  We've had this elusive ggrandfather Abiathar Smith Robinson b: 1829 NY or Vermont who seemed to have no father that we could establish with a paper trail and our Robinson line is a rare R1b Y haplogroup in that the DYS 393 allele is a 12, and not the usual 13, with most all DNA saying our connection was Irish and not English.  Grandpa's oral history, the memory of when he was 16 and had left home in a tizzy, was that his ancestors were from Wales.
                                                                       
Autosomal DNA tests after many years turned up a Sheri whose mother was a Robinson!  Wow!  It was like finding a needle in the haystack!  We had a match which included my brother, myself, my 2 children and my 1st male cousin Ken Robinson.  It consisted of a match on chromosome 1 and a big segment on chromosome 7.  I shared only 66.1cMs total with her on GedMatch.com going back 3.9 generations.  On #7 the segment was 52.2cMs. We all managed to have inherited this similar large segment of #7.   She had tested with Ancestry.  She had a secure tree whose family had come from Bakersfield, Franklin, Vermont.  Our ggrandfather's history was from Royalton and Tunbridge, Vermont.  Oh my!  However, we had no one from Bakersfield!

I had one fact.  Abiathar's wife, Royalton, Vermont born and raised, Julia Ann Tuller, was on the 1850 census in Royalton, Vermont.  Her family had a John Robinson, age 51, living with them as a farmhand.  That's when Abiathar seemed to be in the picture but not listed on their census.  He was nowhere to be found other than marrying Julia in 1852 next door in Tunbridge, Vermont.  Was it just a quirk?  Who can trace a John Robinson without a wife?  Impossible.  I could not trace him at all.
                                                             

Peter Bent Brigham founded Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston

I was not signed up again on Ancestry.com at this point and so decided to search and find what I could about this new town of Bakersfield.  I found a picture of a building there named for Peter Bent Brigham, and so I did a google search of his name, and then decided to search for this important man's genealogy.  "Peter Bent Brigham was born 4 September 1807 in Bakersfield, Vermont as the seventh of nine children born to Uriah Brigham (1757-1820) and Elizabeth (Fay) Brigham (1767-1837). Brigham was a direct descendant of Thomas Brigham (1603-1653), an early immigrant to Cambridge, Massachusetts  as well as John Bent (1596-1672) a founder of Sudbury, Massachusetts.  Brigham had little formal schooling and went to find work in Boston his early teens, when his father died. He began his career working on Middlesex Canal boats, selling fish and oysters in Boston.  He never married."

"Another Uriah on the tree: "In 1797, Uriah Brigham left Marlboro, Massachusetts, drove an ox team with a loaded wagon up the Connecticut River Valley, across the Green Mountains, following the Lamoille River, and north 11 miles to an area known as Knowlton's Gore. In the wagon with their belongings were his wife, Elizabeth Fay Brigham, and their four small children." (I had many Fays but not Elizabeth Fay.)

 Through a test on GedMatch.com, a Population DNA Eurogenes J Test, my brother and I have results showing what population our genes tell where our ancestors came from. I used the same test, or as close as I could  for Ken that I used for my brother and myself.  It is the Eurogenes K13 Admixture proportions that is on GedMatch.com.

We already know that Ken's Y haplogroup is R1b1a2a1a1b4 and his mother's mt haplogroup is H.  Ken's father is the brother of our mother who has H2a1 mt haplogroup from Sweden.

1. Ken shows he has North Atlantic population of 47.38%

The North Atlantic Treaty was signed in Washington, D.C., on 4 April 1949 and was ratified by the United States that August. The Treaty of Brussels, signed on 17 March 1948 by Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, France, and the United Kingdom, is considered the precursor to the NATO agreement.

2. Baltic...25.77%    

The Baltic States are located in north-central Europe, on the eastern edge of the Baltic Sea, and along the western border of the Russian Federation and Belarus. The Baltic countries of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania gained their independence from the former U.S.S.R. in 1991.Nov 17, 2015

3. West Mediterranean...16.78%   France, Italy, Spain, Algeria, Tunisia , 
4. West Asian...4.09%  The term is sometimes used for the purposes of grouping countries in  statistics. (Middle East, Arabia, Anatolia, Iran, Armenia, South Caucasus, see below). 

West Asia

The total population of Western Asia is estimated at about 300 million as of 2015.  It overlaps with Middle East excluding Egypt.  As a geographic concept, "Western Asia" includes the Levant, Mesopotamia, the Arabian peninsula, Anatolia, Iran,Armenian Highlands and South Caucasus. The Sinai Peninsula belongs to Western Asia.  Some records include "include the nations of Turkey, Iran, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Lebanon, Syria, Qatar, Kuwait, Jordan, Iraq, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Cyprus, Oman, and Yemen as part of West Asia.  5. Eastern Mediterranean...2.14%  Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Libya, Syria, Liberia, Greece and Cyprus, 
                                                                   
6. Red Sea...0.59%  The six countries bordering the Red Sea proper are:

7. Southern Asian...0.73% and our history could come from Pakistan/Afghanistan, India

8. Eastern Asian...0.28% Mongolia and China   Our connection? I say Mongolia.  

9. Amerindian...1.55%  another term for American Indian, used chiefly in anthropological and linguistic contexts.   The indigenous peoples of the Americas are the descendants of the pre-Columbian inhabitants of North and South America. Pueblos indígenas (indigenous peoples) is a common term in Spanish-speaking countries.
Oceanian...0.30%  Australia, New Guinea, etc. island counties
