Robinson Genealogy

Maine is so large compared to NH and Vermont! Jonathan Robinson b: 1645 in Massachusetts is a common ancestor to two other Robinsons and a Dyer of ours, with others connected to Maine. We had a triangulation.    I have found Dyers in Royalton, Windsor, Vermont where Julia Ann Tuller lived at age 15, or ggrandmother.  I found a  Gotham Dyer on the 1810 census and Jonathan Dyer , 78,with son, Jonathan Dyer,35, on the 1850 census   of Royalton.  Also on this 1810 census in Royalton was Amos Robinson III b: 1767 in Lebanon, CT with a son under 10, 2 sons from 10 to 15 and 2 sons from 16 to 25.  He was from age 26 to 44. He was also on the 1820 census.   Also on this same census was Martin Tuller b: 1784  and nephew of Daniel who was born in Royalton, with a son under 10 and he was also from 26 to 44 and his Uncle Daniel Tuller, Deacon b: 1745,  who was older, from 45 and over with a son from 10 to 25.  The Tullers were Julia Ann Tuller, wife of Abiathar's relatives.  I have no idea of what the Y haplogroup of Amos Robinson could be, but this line hasn't connected with the found line of R-FT111213 that I know of, being descendants haven't been found that match, or could this Gotham Dyer have been a descendant of the Dyer line I know of?   This is it.  The line of Abiathar Smith  Robinson, our ggrandfather, has to go like this.  In Royalton, Vermont where his wife, Julia Ann Tuller lived at age 15, were many Amos Robinsons, and one, Amos Robinson, III, was his grandfather.  His father was one of the sons, either Amos IV or Cyrus.  I'll take Amos as Abiathar starts with A; like father, like son.  I have just discovered that if I did the genealogy correctly, which I do question and will go back and check on, that the line goes back to The same Dyer line winding up in Meppershall, England.  Like This: 1. Amos Robinson, III b: Sept 1767; wives Lavina Bullock and Betsey Hughes, Royalton, Windsor, Vermont but born in Lebanon, CT 2. Amos Robinson, IV b: 1711, wife Priscilla Lake, Topsfield Mass, Royalton, Windsor, Vermont  3. Jacob Robinson, b:1680, Topsfield, Mass. 4. John Robinson, b: 1642, Haverhill, Mass. 5. John Robinson, b: 1611, Meppershall, England With this line, I don't have to worry about Maine.  That was the line apart from this line.  Both carried the same Y haplogroup but started in England.  My program and my genealogy back before 1850 could be shaky.  We'll see.

More DNA evidence about the male line of our ggrandfather, Abiathar Smith Robinson b: 1829 in ? who died in Illinois shows that his father could have been James Robinson b: 24 January 1777 in Brentwood, Rockingham, New Hampshire and died in Mt. Vernon, Kennebec, Maine.  He was married to Phebe Sherbourne.  They were both buried in the Robinson Cemetery.  
                                                             

   The reason I think this is that it's part of a line belonging to a very close match of his, another James Robinson, as a matter of fact, of Maine and another Robinson who also follows his tree.  In this family, Abiathar could have been one of 10 siblings, and had ridden off to Vermont when about 20 years old.  
Or somewhere along this family line of Robinsons, our line connects with the same Y haplogroup DNA.  
                                                     

1644 in Spain, the look

1643 lady

With this Y match, James Robinson, and the other Robinson join us in triangulating with a Jonathan Robinson born in 1645 in Massachusetts.  Jonathan was married to Sarah Elizabeth Scribner  born in 1649 in Exeter, Rockingham, New Hampshire.  

This was just verified by Tim Fitzpatrick of the Fitzpatrick group on FTDNA, because all 3 show we also have Irish genes of the Fitzpatrick line.   This was not found by our genealogy findings, but by DNA matchings.  Amazing, isn't it?  It doesn't mean that we share any segments of DNA on our 23 chromosomes, either as a different test would show.  
                                                   

Haverhill Witch Trials have accused 5 women but none were executed.

Robinson Female Seminary in Exeter, New Hampshire 1870 where Jonathan Robinson died in 1727. The school was dedicated to the idea that young women should study academics at the same level that boys , but it was quickly determined that cooking could be taught scientifically and was a practical skill and was needed for the betterment of society. Nathaniel Ward, the esteemed Puritan Minister from Ipswich had petitioned the General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony for a settlement along the Merrimack River in order to secure a residence and ministry for his son John Ward. The men chosen to pioneer this expedition were pilgrims, independent men who had come to New England to establish a home and community where they could plough the land and practice religious freedom. After finding the settlements at Newbury and Ipswich fully inhabited, Pentucket promised a chance for prosperity at a new plantation where land could be cleared, fields tilled and God’s abundant bounty sustained.   Old Pentucket was Haverhill's   first 100 years.   The intrepid explorers were by name: William White, John Robinson, Abraham Tyler, Samuel Gile, Christopher Hussey, Daniel Ladd, James Davis, John Williams, Joseph Merrie, Henry Palmer, Richard Littlehale and Job Clement.

By 1790 there were 1,722 people in Exeter. Rockingham, New Hampshire, where Jonathan Robinson died.    Exeter suffered its last Indian raid in August 1723 and by 1725 the tribes had left the area. In 1774 the rebellious Provincial Congress began to meet in the Exeter Town House after Colonial Governor John Wentworth banned it from the colonial capitol at Portsmouth. In July 1775, the Provincial Congress had the provincial records seized from royal officials in Portsmouth and brought to Exeter as well. And so Exeter became New Hampshire's American Revolutionary War capital, an honor it held for 14 years until Concord assumed the role.  He died at age 82.

Meppershall is a hilltop village in Bedfordshire near Shefford, Campton, Shillington, Stondon, England,  and surrounded by farmland. The village and the manor house are mentioned in the Domesday Book in 1086 - with the entry reading: Malpertesselle/Maperteshale: Gilbert FitzSolomon.

This all leads us far back to a John Robinson born in 1611 in Meppershall, Bedfordshire, England.   He died in 1675 in Exeter/ Hampton, Rockingham, New Hampshire.  This has gone back to a Robert Robinson b: 1465 of Redriff, Surrey, England.  Somewhere along here, our line met up with some Irish Fitzpatricks to have the big Y test show our line of Robinson has been classified as R-FT111213.  

Another party, not a Robinson, also matches the male line of Y with FT111213 as well. They are also a line from Maine.  Our Abiathar Smith Robinson is the first to leave the Vermont history.  I didn't have a clue his family could be from Maine.  He was alone in Vermont without parents that I knew of.  On the 1850 census, his future 15 year old wife in Royalton, Windsor, Vermont, had a 51 yr old John Robinson farmer living with them helping out her father.  I had suspected him to be Abiathar's father, but Abiathar wasn't staying there with him.  Julia Ann Tuller and Abiathar married in Tunbridge, Orange, Vermont next door to Royalton.  They had a lot of Robinsons living there, and I believe Abiathar was staying there.  The problem is that Robinson is a very common surname, being 16th most popular in the USA.  New England was loaded with Robinsons.  

"From the 12th century onwards, a group of Normans, and our Robinson line appears to be Norman,  invaded and settled in Gaelic Ireland. These settlers later became known as Norman Irish or Hiberno-Normans. ... In Ireland, the Normans were also closely associated with the Gregorian Reform of the Catholic Church in Ireland.  "

"The Fitzpatricks remained powerful despite the military force of the Normans. They were one of the first major Irish families to relent to Henry VIII."

Through DNA's family finder test of our 23 chromosomes having segments of DNA, I have found other women with bits of DNA matching ours on a few of our 23 chromosomes showing that Robinsons did connect with other Robinsons that were connected to us.

Abiathar Smith Robinson's parents are found Abiathar was born in 1829 in Vermont or maybe even New York but  married in 1852 in Tunbridge, Vermont to a Royalton, Vermont lady, Julia Ann Tuller.  Abiathar's father evidently was a James Robinson b: January 24, 1777 in Deerfield, Rockingham, New Hampshire.  He died in Mt. Vernon, Kennebec, Maine on March 26, 1857.  It was around then that Abiathar and Julia had moved to Canada, for 3 of their children were born there.  Now, counting myself as the 1st generation, have gone back 10 generations to John Robinson b: 1611 and Elizabeth Pemberton of Meppershall, England.     Abiathar's great great grandson, Ken, took a DNA test and found his Y haplogroup (male line) was R-L21 with a rare DYS of 12, not the usual 13.  He had one other match that had also tested with 67 alleles that was the same as he was.  It was another Robinson with a history of New Hampshire and Maine.  I had his tree.  The problem was that I knew we connected in our families, but how to figure who the connecting person was.  I finally used dates and took an educated guess, creating another set of parents for Abiathar from this tree.  That's all I had; a guess.   This time while working on a Robinson-Wilson genealogy search, I accidentally connected with a supposed brother from this guess to the Maine Robinson tree.  I had the probable father already from the Maine tree without a wife, and found him and his wife on a burial reference with his wife bearing the surname of the middle name of Abiathar's supposed brother.  I had Abiathar and this supposed brother attached to the wrong father and quickly adjusted it to the information on the burial reference! It's easy to do on my software. The burial reference listed both parents and gave the birth town of each.  It coincided with the Maine-Robinson tree!   I had done it so many times before for poor Abiathar.  I had created 15 different sets of parents for him thinking each one was correct.    I hit paydirt this time.  It all matches the DNA evidence of belonging to the Maine Robinson line that leads to  John Robinson of Meppershall, England, the tree of our Robinson DNA match.                                                                        Chr Start Location End Location Centimorgans (cM) SNPs 1 34,033,535 47,454,604 15.3 3,046 2 8,674 8,693,553 19.7 2,715 2 121,630,925 137,946,311 17.9 3,476  Example of a few of Ken and myself segment matches of chromosomes #1, #2 and another in #2. The disappointing factor is that my cousin Ken and James A Robinson of the original Meppershall tree, though matching in the Y haplogroup, do not match each other in shared DNA segments.  They are too far apart to be related to each other via DNA.  My brother and I do not have a match with him, either.  That doesn't mean that another of Ken's siblings wouldn't have a match if they were tested, though, but it's improbable.   There is one more match to us and it also happens to be an  R. A Robinson whose Y haplogroup is R-M269, the same tag we had had in the beginning of Ken's test.  He is also using the Meppershall tree.  We have some matching people from this tree.  Again, he is not a match to Ken with any chromosomal segments.  Both men, JAR and RAR, have a distance of 5, which means the common ancestor  at 12 generations ago for JAR was 90.99% sure and for RAR was 80.16% sure. Twenty-five years is usually considered a generation.  The connection thus goes back about 300 years to 1717.                                                                             On is Meppershall tree, this can take me back to Captain James Robinson born in 1711 in Exeter, Rockingham, New Hampshire and his wife, Mary Gilman.  On the Reverend Robinson tree with Israel Robinson of Kattelville, New York, I have Abiathar being the brother of  Ebenezer Ganong Robinson, an ancestor of one of our lady matches, another DNA piece of evidence.  Around 1717, this could go back to either Peter Robinson, Sr, or his son born in Rehoboth, Bristol, Massachusetts Bay.  You see, all roads to our early ancestors lead first to Massachusetts in this exodus from England to America.   One problem I have is that my father was Jewish, and Robinson is also a surname used by many Jewish people.  We have a few other Robinson matches but are of the Jewish line, so this is something I have to check out first.  Which side of the family matches these Robinsons?                                                                              Two ladies who are a match to my Robinson cousin and my brother and myself do not have Robinson surnames.  They match with Robinsons from New York and Vermont only.  Their Robinson line leads to Reverend John Robinson who told the Pilgrims to board the Mayflower.  This causes me to think that the DNA- Y haplogroup clue is the wrong one.  Whoever connected to this NH-Maine line?  I must have every Robinson of New England ever born on my tree?  It's hard to think I've missed a few. Descendants of JOHN ROBINSON, Sr. 1  [1] JOHN ROBINSON, Sr. b: February 09, 1611/12 in Meppershall, Bedfordshire, England d: September 10, 1675 in Exeter, Rockingham, New Hampshire .. +Elizabeth Trickley b: 1623 in Haverhill, Essex, Massachusetts d: December 24, 1715 in Hampton, Rockingham, New Hampshire *2nd Wife of [1] JOHN ROBINSON, Sr.: .. +Elizabeth PEMBERTON b: Abt. 1623 in Haverhill, Essex, Massachusetts d: December 24, 1715 in Hampton, Rockingham, New Hampshire                                             Maine Winter                                                                                                                                                          The only disappointment is that there still remains the fact of not having any paper evidence of his birth to any parents.  He had been born in December 1829.  It could have had something to do with it.

I have been searching for years for the clinching evidence of who Abiathar Smith Robinson b: 1829 I thought in either Vermont or New York was and it turns out he was from the New Hampshire-Maine line of Robinsons!  Sometimes it turns out that an ancestor evidently never knows for sure where they had been born  Maybe it wasn't that big a deal back then. I had census information from 1870 and 1880 and they both said he was born in Vermont.  The 1900 census said he was from New York. Then he died in 1904.
                                                                         
My male cousin, son of my mother's brother had his DNA tested and his Y haplogroup has tested to 67 alleles and more to the point where it is now tagged as R-L21.  It had been called R1b1a2a1a1b4.  You can see why it was changed to something easier.  The dys of the first allele was a 12-something a little rare.  Most other R haplogroup people had a 13.  There was one man who matched my cousin but his Robinsons were from Maine.  That wasn't on any census.  As it turns out, they were from New Hampshire before they went into Maine.  I thought from other possible lines of Robinsons that we had been in New Hampshire as well.  This was New England and New England was full of Robinsons.  This genealogy is like trying to find the needle dropped in the haystack.  Everyone was a Robinson!  It was Reverend John Robinson who sent the Pilgrims on the Mayflower to America!  He never made it himself but his son, Isaac came over and fathered a whole flock of Robinsons.
                                                                     
Because of this one man that we have connected to through Family Tree's Y haplogroup test, I had procured his genealogy tree, and tried blindly to connect Abiathar to it without any knowledge.  Since then I undid this with ease, using my Old Family Tree Maker software program one now downloads.  I had to have my son put it in my computer for me years ago.

As it turns out, our Robinsons are not one of Reverend John Robinson who sent the Pilgrims from Holland onto the Mayflower. In this case, their DNA's Y haplogroup is unknown, though an R.   Now, my next challenge will be to connect my three female dna matches that I have found through 23&;Me, Family Tree DNA and GedMatch.com.  Maybe it will now be easier. I'll be checking out the Meppershall Tree.   Whatever, with Abiathar's oral history of his ancestor coming to America not on the Mayflower but the next ship, we know we originated in Massachusetts, and wandered through Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont, and now can add Maine to our New England Robinson family.  Like grandfather Frank had said, he was A BLUE BLOODED YANKEE!

Notable people from this part of Maine are:

• Joseph W. Allen, state legislator
• Joseph Payne, musician
• John H. Rice, U.S. congressman
•                                                          
  
• Moses Sherburne, politician and Minnesota Supreme Court Justice Moses G. Sherburne (January 25, 1808 – March 23, 1868) was an American politician and jurist.(Isn't this a derivative of Sherbourne?)
  Born in Mount Vernon, Kennebec County, Maine, Sherburne studied at the academy in China, Maine. He then studied law and was admitted to the Maine bar in 1831. He practiced law in Phillips, Maine, where he served as postmaster and in the Maine Legislature, and later lived in Franklin County, Maine. Sherburne served in the Maine House of Representatives, in 1842, and then in the Maine State Senate, in 1845, as a Democrat. Sherburne also served as justice of the peace and then as probate judge for Franklin County, Maine. He was also major general for the Maine militia. In 1850, Sherburne served as Maine Bank Commissioner. He then ran for the United States House of Representatives as a Democrat in 1852. He finished in Minnesota.  
• John L. Stevens, U.S. diplomat and Republican Party founder

My googling uncovered an Abiathar Smith of Maine.  This is very exciting since my ggrandfather, Abiathar Smith Robinson, doesn't seem to have any father in Vermont or New York, and DNA shows that we match a line of Robinsons who have been living in Maine!

A line in a bio says, "Mr. Holbrook's father, Elisha Holbrook, came from Cape Cod and settled at Isle au Haut about the year 1800.  There he married a daughter of Abiathar Smith."
                                                                                  

Cape Cod is in Massachusetts.  My grandfather's oral history is that his ancestors came to America not on the Mayflower but a ship after that.  The first Smith on our shores was Captain John Smith, but he went to Virginia.  Since then, Smith is probably the most common name in the United States.  Robinson is #16.

I never thought that there would ever be an Abiathar Smith.  I thought Smith was simply his mother's maiden name, which is a custom in naming in England.  It still must be, but who would have ever thought that an Abiathar would be connected to such a common name as Smith.  Abiathar was quite important in the Bible.

 "in the Hebrew Bible, son of Ahimelech or Ahijah, High Priest at Nob, the fourth in descent from Eli (1 Sam. 23:6) and the last of Eli's House. The only one of the priests to escape from Saul's massacre, he fled to David at Keilah, taking with him the ephod and other priestly regalies (1 Sam. 22:20 f., 23:6, 9). He was of great service to David, especially at the time of the rebellion of Absalom, his son. ."

My clues are now that Abiathar Smith settled in 1777.
in 1790 he was in Lincoln, Maine
1793 he was in Waldo, Maine at age 77; born in 1716
1800 he was in Hancock, Maine.
1810 he was in Plymouth, Massachusetts
He was in the Revolutionary War.
 He was born in 1793.
In 1870 he lived in Waldo, Maine.
He was born in 1849 in St. Lawrence, New York
He was in Massachusetts military
He died in 1872 in Massachusetts
Spouse was Eunice Stewart of Massachusetts
Abiathar Richard Smith was born August 3, 1852 in Worcestershire, England and died August 16, 1909 in Ogden, Utah.

There are 40 Robinsons buried in Waldo, Maine but Captain Micah Robinson is the oldest, born 1782 and died 1859.  He's not in my name bank.

1. Abiathar Robinson b: August 8, 1750  in Granville, Hampden, Massachusetts.  married to Buelah Parsons b: February 1, 1753 in Enfield, Connecticut
   Son or daughter was Abiah or Ablah born in 1781 in Granville, Massachusetts.
   Son Erastus b abt 1777 in Granville married Sally Burnwell.  They had no children listed.  However, in looking back, I had found their ancestors.

Abiathar's father was :
1. Daniel Robinson, Captain.  b: 1725 in Durham, Connecticut married to Abigail Curtis.  I have 13 children listed for him.
2. David Robinson b: 1694 in Guilford, Connecticut. Married to Rebecca Miller.  He had 13 children.
3. David Robinson b: 1660 in Gildford, Connecticut married to Abigail Kirby.  He had 3 children (1 boy).
4. Thomas Robinson b: 1614 in Surrey, England,  married Mary Wells, died in Hartford, Connecticut, had 8 children.

2. Abiathar Robinson b: June 22, 1788 in Foxborough, Norfolk, Massachusetts.  Married Nancy Fisher.   Died May 2, 1853
   I have no children listed to follow.
                                                                         
                                                Mayflower 1620 landed at Plymouth Rock

My grandfather, Frank Hugh Robinson, said his family came on the ship after the Mayflower.  I did find a Thomas Robinson age 31 on the Ann & Elizabeth on April 24, 1635.  A 2nd check on this and I didn't see it again, but I did find others.

Elizabeth Robinson age 32 came over on the BLESSING in 1635.  All the rest I list came in 1635.
   Joseph Robinson age 5 may have been with her on the BLESSING.
   Katherine Robinson age 12   BLESSING
   Mary Robinson age 7  BLESSING
   Sarah Robinson age 18 months  BLESSING
   Nicholas  Robinson age 30 on BLESSING.  (I have no Nicholas in my name bank of my program.  )

Isaac (Isack) Robinson age 15 came over on the HOPEWELL  1635.  He may have been Reverend John Robinson's son.
                                                               
                               Young Robinsons Working on Ships Bound for Barbados 1635

Maybe Abiathar Smith Robinson is from a completely different line of an unknown Robinson I haven't found to work up.  Maybe they can connect to James Alton's Maine Robinson line after all.  I know we match very few Robinsons so are quite elusive; the last of a line, possibly.  Strange that Abiathar could have entered Royalton, a city full of Robinsons, and not be related to any of them!
