Robinson Genealogy

 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.
