Final Statement of our Robinson Genealogy: Pastor John Robinson Who Sent Pilgrims Onto Mayflower Produced Best Robinson Genealogists

 Nadene Goldfoot                                            

                            Pilgrims were the original refugees of America

 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:

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.                                                    

 Mary Therese Winifred Robinson (IrishMáire Mhic Róibín; née Bourke; born 21 May 1944) is an Irish politician who was the 7th president of Ireland, serving from December 1990 to September 1997, the first woman to hold this office.   In 1970, she married Nicholas Robinson, with whom she had a relationship since they were law students and who was then practising as a solicitor. Nicholas Kenneth Robinson (born 9 February 1946) is an Irish authorhistoriansolicitor and cartoonist who is the husband of the 7th President of Ireland and former United Nations High Commissioner for Human RightsMary Robinson.  Together they have three children. What is his Y haplogroup?  Robinson was born in Amsterdam, Netherlands, in 1946, to a wealthy middle-class Anglican family. He was born to Howard and Lucy Robinson, the third in a family of four boys. His father was an accountant who founded the City of Dublin Banker and was a prominent freemason of the Grand Lodge of Ireland. The Robinson family had been coopers associated with the brewing business of the Guinness family. Nicholas's grandfather was a coal importer. 
Nicholas Robinson b: 1946 Dublin, Ireland m: Mary Bourke
   Howard Robinson b: c1920 Dublin, Ireland m: Lucy ??  It would be great to see his Y DNA results.  

There's so much we can learn from our ancestors as we carry parts of them within us in our DNA.  This tree is a direct line to Josiah  Robinson who is also on the Watson tree.  On the Watson tree is a DNA cousin of mine.  Hope their Watson line is correct or I was correct in having it on my tree with Josiah.  born September 17, 1711 in Newton, Middlesex, Massachusetts.  His wife was Anna Barton.  

Another John that could and should be the father:  John Robinson born 1798 in Massachusetts, died in Tunbridge, Orange, Vermont :  with wife Eliza Fowler of New York:  One of their daughters was Mary Irish Robinson !    They used Edward so much and my mother's brother was Edward Kenneth Robinson.

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.

Study of Robinson Families of Vermont on 1850 Census: Where They Lived in Vermont

 Nadene Goldfoot                                        

                   Royalton, Windsor, Vermont, tucked into a forest  

Abiathar Smith Robinson married Julia Ann Tuller (Fuller) of Royalton.  Next door was Tunbridge, Orange, Vermont where they married on February 29, 1852, Leap Year.  Julia's father was Tuller and mother was Durkee, most all living in the two places with Durkee in Tunbridge.  Durkees won out for wedding to take place in Tunbridge.  The problem is to see if I can find who Abiathar's father is as it is not on any hard copy of the normal resources like census records.  It looks obvious that it must be a John Robinson (a very common name) who was on the 1850 census living with the Tullers, and Julia Ann Tuller was a child of 15 then.  She married at 17 to Abiathar.  

John Robinson was born 1803 in Tunbridge, Orange, Vermont
He was found at age 51? on the 1850 census of Royalton, Windsor, VT as a farmer living with the Tullers.  Why?
By 1852, Abiathar and Julia Ann Tuller were married in Tunbridge. Also living in Tunbridge was:
1. Charles Kent. Robinson b: 19 April 1829 b: Strafford, Vermont.  Charles was on 25 July 1870 census in Tunbridge at age 41 with father, James 70, sister-Mary A 44, James T 39.  I've got the possible idea that Charles is the son of James Robinson  who died in 1878 in Tunbridge.  Abiather could have been his brother but they were both born in 1829 but in different months.  This is part of the tree I have leading to Meppershall, England that connects to our Maine Robinson DNA cousin.  
2. On 1850 census of Tunbridge was listed:  James at 49, Mary 47, Mary Anne 24, Martha T 22, Charles K 21, Alma 15 b: Nov 1833, now Noyes-66 yrs old in 1900 listed as servant.
3. In 1900 Charles K was listed as 71 and single.  He was also on the Civil War Draft enlisted on 1 July 1853 at age 34.
4. 1870 census of 24th of June listed John A b: 1827, was 43 years old in Tunbridge; also: Mary D 37, Frank C 14, John M 12, and Harris Orr.  I've got Orr's on tree.  
5. A Robinson was born 19 April 1829 and died 6 Dec 1907 at Hunt Cemetery in Tunbridge.  I have Abiathar dying in 1904 in Illinois.  These could all be relatives.

Well, now I'm stuck.  I believe Abiathar's father could be this John Robinson who might be the one who was living with the Tullers on the 1850 census.  I have no idea which Robinson line this might belong to.  I don't know who John Robinson's father could be.  Back to the drawing board.
