Our Relative is Queen Anne of England; King James VII of England's Wife
Nadene Goldfoot
We're related to Queen Anne who was married to King James VII of England and was also James II Duke of York. Anne was born March 22, 1637, died April 10, 1671.
We're related through my mother's father's connection to the Hyde family. Queen Anne's father was Edward Hyde. My blog tells all about the connection.
The Hyde line found marrying into our Robinson line through the wife of a Robinson, a Durkee, and it leads to Anne Hyde (March 22 1637- April 10, 1671) England who married King James, II, Duke of York and VII of England. They married on September 3, 1660 in London, England. Anne's father was Edward Hyde, Earl of Clarendon. Edward Hyde, 1st Earl of Clarendon PC JP, was an English statesman, lawyer, diplomat and historian who served as chief advisor to Charles I during the First English Civil War, and Lord Chancellor to Charles II from 1660 to 1667
Anne Hyde was the mother of Mary II, (April 30, 1662-December 28, 1694) Queen of England who married William III and II, King England, Scotland, Ireland and mother of Queen Anne.( February 6, 1664-1714) who married Prince George " Jørgen (Oldenburg) Fredericksen of Denmark.
Deborah Hyde (October 16, 1734- 1780), an offshoot of our Durkee line-of which our Abiathar Smith Robinson's mother-in-law was Asenath Durkee, was Queen Anne's 1/2 3rd cousin-4 times removed. They shared the same surname but were not exactly direct relatives. Deborah Hyde is our Robinson line relative. She was married to Amos Benton Robinson (July 26, 1734-before March 16, 1812) whose great grandson was my great grandfather, Abiathar Smith Robinson (1829-October 1904).
I have fulfilled my mother's wish to be connected to the kings and queens of England. Mildred Elizabeth Robinson would then be a 1/2 3rd cousin--9 times removed. That makes my brother David and I Anne Hyde's half 3rd cousin--10 times removed.

Going Back to a William Robinson and Elizabeth Norton To Reverend Edward Robinson of Palestine
Nadene Goldfoot
Palestine Biblical Scholar, Edward Robinson, ReverendMy, everyone back then seemed to be a Reverend. I had found Reverend Edward Robinson born in 1794 in Connecticut who was THE Edward Robinson in Palestine with a Smith, doing research and probably digs. His father was William Robinson, Reverend. Every Robinson named a son, William or Edward. My mother's brother was Edward Kenneth Robinson. This Reverend was already on my vast Robinson tree-almost, as his father was there, since I've tried so many Robinsons to be the father of my ggrandfather, Abiathar Smith Robinson of Vermont b:Dec. 1829.
You'd think my ggrandfather, Abiathar was raised by a Reverend. He was very strict. My grandfather Frank Hugh's horse was in a field where the bull had entered on a Sunday, their Sabbath, and Frank wanted to get it out quickly to save it from the bull. Abiathar wouldn't let him, the horse was killed, and so my granddfather left home--ran away, actually at about age 16, never to return, and there went all my chances of getting some good information about the family. New England was loaded with Robinsons. New York, CT, Vermont, Maine,
Edward Robinson (April 10, 1794 – January 27, 1863) was an American biblical scholar known for his magnum opus, Biblical Researches in Palestine, the first major work in Biblical Geography and Biblical Archaeology, which earned him the epithets "Father of Biblical Geography" and "Founder of Modern Palestinology."[1]
He studied in the United States and Germany, a center of biblical scholarship and exploration of the Bible as history. He translated scriptural works from classical languages, as well as German translations. His Greek and English Lexicon of the New Testament (1836; last revision, 1850) became a standard authority in the United States, and was reprinted several times in Great Britain.
Robinson went to Europe to study ancient languages, largely in Halle and Berlin (1826–30). While in Halle, in 1828 he married the German writer Therese Albertine Luise. After the couple returned to the United States, Robinson was appointed professor extraordinary of sacred literature at Andover Theological Seminary (1830–.1833). I've seen a picture of her, can't lift it to this blog. She was beautiful, while he
looks rather stuffy.
It will be wild if he's a DNA relative since I'm holding dual citizenship with USA/Israel having lived there from 1980-end of 1985 in Haifa and Tzfat.
Robinson traveled to Palestine in 1838 in the company of Rev. Eli Smith. He published Biblical Researches in Palestine in 1841, for which he was awarded the Gold Medal of the Royal Geographical Society in 1842. He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1847.
Robinson, together with Smith, made scores of identifications of ancient places referred to the Bible. His work established his enduring reputation as a "Founder" of Biblical archaeology, and influenced much of future archaeological field work. Examples of his finds in Jerusalem include the Siloam tunnel and Robinson's Arch in the Old City; the latter was named in his honor.
The arch is named after Biblical scholar Edward Robinson who identified its remnants in 1838. Robinson published his findings in his landmark work Biblical Researches in Palestine, in which he drew the connection with a bridge described in Josephus's Antiquities of the Jews and The Jewish War, concluding that its existence proves the antiquity of the Walls of Jerusalem. Excavations during the second half of the 20th century revealed both its purpose and the extent of its associated structures. Today the considerable surviving portions of the ancient overpass complex may be viewed by the public within the Jerusalem Archaeological Park. As it is adjacent to Jerusalem's Western Wall worship area, a portion is used by some groups as a place of prayer.
These stones next to the Kotel, the Western Wall, at Robinson’s Arch, are from the ruined Temple, and remain as a reminder.
The two men returned to Ottoman Palestine in 1852 for further investigations. In 1856 the enlarged edition of Biblical Researches was published simultaneously in English and German. Among those who later acknowledged Robinson’s stature, in 1941 G. Ernest Wright, reviewing the pioneering survey contained in Nelson Glueck's The Other Side of the Jordan, makes a just comparison and fitting testimonial: "Glueck's explorations are second to none, unless it is those of Edward Robinson."

3. William Dyer m: 1829 to Elizabeth Robinson

6. Albert Edward Dyer m: 1907 to Lydia Ann Robinson
7. Edwin Thomas Dyer m: 1890 to Charlotte Dorothy Robinson
8. John Dyer m: July 6, 1759 to Mary Robinson in Reading, Berkshire, England
Then I found a few in Michigan, USA
1. Thomas H Dyer m: 1877 to J.N. Robinson
2. Raymond B. Dyer in 1925 to Myrtle M. Robinson
More came up from England and finally I found someone from New York:
1. Henry Dyer born in Connecticut, with parents of John Dyer and Sarah Scott, married in Manhattan, NY in 1885 to Julia Robinson and a John Robinson was in her life.
There were pages and pages of Dyers marrying Robinsons. I even found one in Ireland:
John Dyer married in 1847 in Leinster, Ireland to Elizabeth Ann Robinson.
Here's one I must work on.
Marshall L. Dyer married on either the 1st or 8th of September 1871 in Vermont to Addie G. Robinson whose father was Elijah Robinson b 1808 in Weathersfield, Windsor, Vermont. This line of Robinsons as I worked on it goes back to the Reverend John Robinson who told the Pilgrims in Holland to go to America on the Mayflower.
He is Marshall Lorenzo Dyer b: January 13, 1846 in Brookton Town, Washington, Maine died 22 August 1923 in Vermont. Marshall is also a name used twice that I know of on my tree already from New York on the Dyer tree.
I have found many female Dyers marrying Robinsons in Maine.
Their child listed was George Levi Dyer b: 1875 in Brighton, Essex, Vermont. He was the town clerk and died at age 71 in 1947.
I did find a Hubert Dyer marry on May 25, 1908 in Maine to Sophia Robinson.
Maine is very important because the closest Robinson match that my 1st male cousin has in a James Robinson with ancestors from Maine. This is also confirmed on FTDNA, and ours is from Vermont.
Family Search has pages and pages of Dyers marrying Robinsons. All I did was print Dyer in the surname of the person I was searching and under spouse, I printed in the surname section-Robinson. No dates. It all came up. This was a new tool for me. I was charged up and needed to find a connection. Wow!
Robinson was the 16th most popular surname when I started my hobby of genealogy, but I never knew about Dyer.
FTDNAs Family Search shows that JVDyer has a distance of 9 meaning 5 out of 565 difference in the Big Y test so according to the Tip tool, we go back 16 generations and have an 82.57% chance to match; or go back 24 generations and have a 98.99% chance so for sure, if we go back to the year 1420, we should find our common ancestor. As for our matching DNA, we don't on FTDNA, but might with GedMatchgenesis today as their tools will show matches under 5 cMs. However, the other James Robinson is a match to us as a 5th cousin. Our chromosome #6 has a segment of 8.13cMs.
Our Dyer Y haplogroup match stems from Palmyra, Somerset, Maine. Lots of Dyers there:

Heman Durkee and Susanna Rix Lead to ancestor Stephen Hopkins of Mayflower
2nd cousin once removed Sandy discovered that our mutual relatives, Heman Durkee and wife Susanna Rix were related to the famous family who sailed on the Mayflower in 1620, Stephen Hopkins and his wife Mary and three children, Constance, Elizabeth and Giles. Surprisingly, he also had 2 servants with him. Constance was 14 years old at the time. "Stephen Hopkins was a passenger on the Mayflower in 1620, one of 41 signatories of the Mayflower Compact, and an assistant to the governor of Plymouth Colony through 1636."

Mayflower Compact |
Stephen was not a free man then but became free later. In those days men were divided between the free who were not in debt and those who were. After Mary died, Stephen married Elizabeth Fisher on February 19, 1616/17 and had 6 more children; Oceanus, a girl, being the first along with Caleb, Deborah, Demaris, Ruth and Elizabeth.

Constance married Nicholas Snow. Their son, John Snow, married Mary Smalley on September 19, 1667. John was one of the first to start the town of Eastham, Barnstable, Massachusetts. Their daughter, Rebecca Snow, married Benjamin Smalley in about 1694. .Eventually they moved on into Connecticut.
Rebecca Snow and Benjamin Smalley's son Joseph became a deacon in the church. He had married Jemima Ordway in about 1735 in Connecticut. Their daughter, Lucy Anna Smalley, married Timothy Lewis Durkee on May 3, 1758 in Pomfret, Windham, Connecticut who became a Colonel, and was our mutual ancestor and the beginning of the Durkees that ran so prominently in our family line. Their son, Col. Heman Durkee, had married Susanna Rix on September 19, 1781 in Royalton, Windsor, Vermont. . They were both sons of the American Revolution of 1776. We can be proud of their service. Timothy died in 1797 in Royalton, Vermont and Heman also died in 1797 also in Royalton, Vermont if my records are correct. .
This family of Timothy Durkee suffered greatly through the burning of Royalton, Vermont by Canadian Indians who were accompanied by the British on October 16, 1780. It had just become chartered the year before in 1779. The town was in a thriving condition with cattle were still grazing in the fields. The Indians had followed the rivers and had already gone through Chelsea and Tunbridge and onto Royalton, their destination. Second son Adin, born in 1761, was captured by the Indians. He was taken to Montreal, Canada where he died on December 19, 1780.
Of all of Timothy's children, only his eldest son, Col. Heman, remained in Royalton. Harvey remained in Vermont while several removed to New York. The grandchildren spread out far and wide in the new lands. They found their ways to Pennsylvania, New York, Wisconsin, Texas, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Odelltown, Canada, Iowa, and then Vermont, of course, where our great grandfather, Abiathar Smith Robinson and wife Julia Ann Tuller lived at first. While our grandfather was Frank Hugh Robinson, Sandy's grandmother was his sister,
This is how Sandy got to Stephen Hopkins:
1. Heman Durkee/Susanna Rix
2. Lucy Smalley/Timothy Durkee
3. Joseph Smalley/Jemima Ordway
4. Rebecca Snow/Benjamin Smalley
5. John Snow/Mary Smalley
6. Constance Hopkins/Nicholas Snow
7. Stephen Hopkins/Mary Kent
The amazing fact is that when I did my student teaching at Buckman Grade School in Portland, Oregon, my senior teacher for that period was Betty Smalley. Little did we know we may have shared some genes. She was great!
Our great grandfather was Abiathar Smith Robinson born in 1829 possibly in Bennington, Vemont. His wife was Julia Ann Tuller probably also born in Royalton who connected before to the Mayflower.
Julia Ann Tuller's mother was Asinath Durkee born in 1814 in Royalton, Vermont.

Accidental DNA Resource Connects Robinson Line to Chosen Scottish Robinson Line
![]() |
King James II, VII |

Chief Massasoit |
The surname that excited me was on her list of names which was Alexander. I had a Chauncey Alexander on my tree born in 1818 in ? and died in 1843 in Northfield, Washington, Vermont. I had no workup on him, but I did on his wife, who was part of my tree. She was Mary Averall born in Northfield, Vermont in 1824. She died in 1909 there. They had married August 10, 1842. Mary's parents were Oliver Averall and Harriet Polly Hopkins. Oliver's father was Thomas Averall and his mother was Elizabeth Robinson b: 1751 in Providence, Rhode Island and had died in 1840 in Northfield, Vermont. (I am her 1st or 2nd cousin 5 times removed.) Later, you will see that Mary Averall's husband, Chauncey Alexander, also brings me to a huge surprise as to who his origins were. They were 2 unimportant people sitting on my tree just because I like to keep following people and their ancestors that Family Search and ancestry.com make possible to do so. They were very distant relatives. By the way, the book, Plymouth Colony, is loaded with Hopkins people of this surname. It's because Stephen Hopkins was one of the passengers on the ship, The Mayflower in 1620. Stephen Hopkins had housed the Indians and had good relations with them. (at least the nearby Wampnoags under the supreme chief Massasoit were good. Somoset who was not a Wampanoag, but came from Maine, ad learned some English fom fishing ships, and he walked in on the settlers shortly after their arrival at Plymouth and offered to help them. Through Samoset, they learned also of Squanto, who was "a native of this place," but who had been taken by a ship to England. Samoset stayed his first night at Stephen Hopkins's house, having familiarity from when he was in Virginia years earlier. through Samoset, the colonists made initial contact with Massasoit and shortly after signed a peace treaty with hi, continuing until after Massasoit's death in 1662. "
Elizabeth Robinson was the daughter of NATHANIEL Robinson,Jr., Deacon, Judge b: 1724 in Attleboro, Massachusetts. He died in 1815 in Westminster, Vermont. Her mother was was Keziah Robbins who died in 1795 in Westminster, Vermont. Nathaniel Robinson was a direct descendant of George Robinson of Glasgow, Scotland according to my research done previously..
I had already determined some time ago that this same George Robinson of Glasgow was our ancestor. There are so many Robinsons in New England, and as I kept working on our Robinsons, many people had married into a Robinson line, so I've been guessing as to our known Abiathar Smith Robinson, father of our grandfather, Frank Hugh Robinsons's father. Abiarthar's history ended in Wenona, Marshall, Illinois where he is buried, and was known about on his marriage license, and his wife was known to be Julia Ann Tuller of Royalton, Vermont on the 1850 census at age 15, but Abiathar was on no piece of information. It's been very frustrating. To complicate matters, Julia's father had a John Robinson age 51, working for him b: that could have been Abiathar's father or relative listed on that 1850 census living with them as another farmer. He was alone; no wife or child with him on the census. That shows that he was born in 1799-1800. The census said he was born in Vermont. "In 1850, a John Robinson, farmer, was living with the Tullers. Could he be the father of Abiathar who would have been 21? Julia was 15 on the census. I'm beginning to think so. John would have been 30 years old at Abiathar's birth. " (from my notes).
So, as it is today, I have found a John Robinson b: 1784 in Westminster, Vermont to be Abiathar's missing father. I sure hope I'm right. His wife is Sophromia Pember. They both died in Stowe, Vermont. They had a son named John K.Robinson b: 1819 in Stowe, Lamoille, Vermont. This piece of information coincides with another earlier DNA match that was much closer to me as a 3rd cousin with FTDNA. She's connected to the Bartlett family. I think of the pears with this name. She and I have worked on this line together for many sessions. John K Robinson's wife was Celinda Lorinda Lee Lucinda S. Hoskins HARRIS. She was born in 1821 in Stowe, Lamoille, Vermont also. John K Robinson was also a direct descendant of George Robinson of Glasgow, Scotland. They're on the same tree.
The confusing fact is that I have at least 10 to 12 lines of Robinson in my computer in MyFamily Tree Maker Program, an old software program from when I first started doing genealogy way way before DNA came into being for genealogy.
Another line from DNA has the person's mother as a Robinson, and the outcome is a William Robinson, not the same Robinson line. This DNA match is even closer to me the the one with John K. Robinson b: 1819. This goes to Diane Robinson, Richard, Arthur, David, Jacob, John S.1765, Leonard Robinson, Sgt b: 1736, Samuel, Captain, Samuel, William b: 1640 Bristol, England, William Robinson, b: 1614 Canterbury, Kent, England. These last DNA ladies that connect to me connect to each other as well via DNA.
My 2 ladies, both sharing the same name of Cheryl (my first cousin is Charlotte Robinson who we call Cherie) and my brother and myself and my Charlotte's brother, Ken all share the same segment on chromosome #1 of 12 to 15cMs. So somehow we share the same Robinson line as well. I have made a mistake somewhere. DNA doesn't lie.
5/14/19 So I've tried to rectify my error. The problem was the father of Jacob H. Robinson being the wrong John Robinson. I found another that seems to do even better with him leading to the Scottish George Robinson of Glasgow, Scotland like the others. This is a John Robinson b: 1769 in Tolland, Connecticut and died in Shoreham, Vermont, about 84 miles away from Bakersfield Vermont. He even had a David Robinson as a son. (This is how we all make errors in our genealogy. It's hard to tell at times who is who. Oh, if everyone had a brand of their Y haplogroup, which they do if tested, but I would like one more visible. This John was already in my tree. So I traded the other John S Robinson b: 1765 for this John Robinson b: 1769. They both ended up in Vermont.

.. +King James, II, Duke of York and VII b: October 14, 1633 in St. James Palace, London, England, HOUSE OF STUART d: September 16, 1701 in St. Germain-en-Laye, France
"The House of Stuart, originally Stewart, was a European royal house of Scotland with Breton origin.[2] They had held the office of High Steward of Scotland since Walter FitzAlan in around 1150. The royal Stewart line was founded by Robert II whose descendants were kings and queens of Scotland from 1371 until the union with England in 1707. Mary, Queen of Scots was brought up in France where she adopted the French spelling of the name Stuart."
On 2 March 1651/52, Nicholas Hyde was fined 25 pounds, a severe penalty, for selling a gun to an Indian, with confusing evidence. He was also ordered to satisfy Chief Massasoit about a gun that he probably sold to him of which he was not satisfied with. The implication was that it was all right for Massasoit to have a gun. My past notation on Nicholas Hyde was (1/26/12 Sir Nicholas Hyde, who was to hold the office of Chief Justice of the King's Bench between 1627 and 1631).
There is one Alexander listed in the book, Plymouth Colony, published by Ancestry. He was a John Alexander, listed as a man found guilty on 6 August 1637 of lewd behavior, page 201. His punishment was to be severely whipped and burned on the shoulder with a hot iron and to be perpetually banished from the colony, and to be whipped again anytime he might be found in the colony. The book goes into the lewd behavior that he was being punished for.
Alexander is a surname originating in Scotland. It is originally an Anglicised form of the Scottish Gaelic MacAlasdair. It is a somewhat common Scottish name, and the region of Scotland where it traditionally is most commonly found is in the Highlands region of Scotland

Further checking on Scottish Robinsons produced: " A descendant of one of the Kings of Scotland, by the name of James Robinson, resided in a beautiful town in Scotland called at the time, Blarefatte, but after the rebellion, it was called by another name. (JH typist note: Blarefatte still exists and was visited by both my mother and her brother, grandchildren of Marquis D. Robinson.)
In searching for famous Scottish Robinsons, I came across this Scotsman and was pleased to see it. Thought not a Robinson, he helped my Jewish relatives and I to have a chance populating Palestine once again in the creation of Israel with his Balfour Doctrine. Arthur James Balfour (First Earl of Balfour) (1848 - 1930)
Born in East Lothian. A member of the Conservative party. Held several political positions, and was elected as British Prime Minister in 1902. He remained in office until 1906.
Update 5/15/19 : In checking for Native American DNA, my male 1st cousin-son of my mother's brother, has -1% of native American DNA. It could be from Massasoit. I have none. Luckily, he has 2 areas to check in FTDNA; his own personal and his Y haplogroup information of which he is R-L21.
