Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/3cDBAIB/8188.1 Message Board Post: I am also researching Robinsons in County Limerick at about this same era. It appears that there were not very many Robinsons in Limerick, based on my limited research. Also, the names John, George and William appear to be common in both families. Perhaps there is some connection. My 2-great grandfather is Thomas Benton Robinson, who married Alice Mary Moore in Limerick in Sep 1856 (married by the Rev. Pryce Peacock of the Anglican Church of Ireland). Thomas was born 21 Dec 1837, at sea, possibly near Cork. His parents were John and Ellen (Cohn/Cohan/Cowan) Robinson, according to family lore. John was supposedly a Scotsman of the clan Gunn. From 1900 US census data, John was born in Scotland and Ellen in Ireland. Also, Alice Mary's obituary stated that her husband was "the son of Bishop Robinson of Dublin." To date, I have been unable to find any Bishop Robinson who had issue, although I have found references to other Robinsons involved in the Anglican Church of Ireland, including a Thos. Robinson, Rev'd of Dublin, listed as a freeman of Limerick in 1756, among others. The youngest child of Thomas & Alice Mary, Alice Dorcas, was a devout Episcopalian. Alice Mary was born in Ireland to Martha and Unknown Moore, in Nov 1841. Alice Mary's mother was born in India, suggesting that her father was either a British soldier or civil servant. Thomas Benton and Alice Mary had one child born in Ireland, John Thomas, born March 1858. By 1860, Thomas Benton was in the United States in Wisconsin, where he enlisted in the regular US army in April 1862. He served throughout the Civil War, rising to the rank of 2nd Lieutenant by the end of the war. After the war, he made the army his career, serving throughout the western frontier in Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, and Colorado. He retired, as a Captain, due to ill health in Nov 1888 and settled in Fort Morgan CO, where he died in Dec 1901. While in the US army, Thomas Benton served as a quartermaster, in charge of supplies, a "merchant" type occupation. His sons John and Howard followed this occupation - they ran a general store in the small town of San Ardo CA from the early 1900s until their deaths (John in 1941 and Howard sometime after 1930). Sometime in 1865, Alice Mary and their young son John joined him in the United States, where the rest of their children were born: George William (1866), Nellie (1868), Caldwell Middleton (1869), Howard S. (1873), Thomas H. H. (1875), and Alice Dorcas (1879). Alice was my great-grandmother. The Limerick connection and time frame alone suggest that our two Robinson families might have some common ancestor. A cousin, who has done extensive research on Captain Robinson, once found a message, posted somewhere on the internet, suggesting that our family might have had a connection to a Yorkshire Robinson family, some of whom immigrated to the US and others to Australia. I have been gathering information about any Robinson in Limerick, and many in Dublin, in hopes of someday making a connection to the family of Thomas Benton and Alice Mary (Moore) Robinson. I would be happy to share this info, if you have an interest. Nancy Young Colorado USA

I., died in Brooklyn, Aug. 26, 1886. His family had been residents of Rhode [p.549] Island for many generations and one of his ancestors Governor of the State. His father was captain of a ship in the trade with China. Brought up as a child on his grandfather's farm, the boy left at the age of twelve to become a clerk and bookkeeper for his uncle, Stephen A. Robinson, a grocer in Newport. In less than three years, he returned to the farm. In 1836, he came to New York with $50 in money and, after a long search, found employment with E. P. & A. Woodruff, merchants of fish, provisions, groceries and salt. Hard work resulted at the end of four years in his admission to partnership, the firm finally taking the name of A. Woodruff & Robinson. Having become interested in the warehouse business, the firm gradually abandoned all their former trade, except the importation of salt. Later, he engaged in the sto! rage business for himself under the name of J. P. & G. C. Robinson. The firm are known at present as J.P. Robinson & Co. About 1843, Mr. Robinson entered upon the development of the South Brooklyn water front, where he bought large blocks of unimproved land and built warehouses and piers. The Robinson stores were built by him. A few years later, with William Beard, he began to develop the region now known as the Erie Basin but sold his interest therein later to Mr. Beard. Mr. Robinson was a director and first president of the Brooklyn Bridge and a friend of every other enterprise having in view the welfare of Brooklyn. He belonged to the Chamber of Commerce, the Produce and Maritime Exchanges, and the Brooklyn and Hamilton clubs. By his marriage with Elizabeth De Witt, of Cranberry, N.J., he was the father of four children, Isaac R., Jeremiah P., Elizabeth De Witt, and Harriet W.

He began life in modest circumstances, the son of James Little, a tailor who emigrated to the United States in 1847. The family settled soon afterward in Morris, Otsego county, N.Y. Joseph left district school at the age of fourteen to learn the trade of a printer as an apprentice. Three years later, he came to New York and found employment in the printing office of Rennie, Shea & Lindsey, rising to the foremanship about 1864. Two years later, Mr. Little began business on his own account in a small way, having for a junior partner his former employer, Mr. Rennie. A third associate joining in the venture, the three with the combined capital of $5,000 Started the printing office of Little, Rennie & Co. on Broome street, in 1867. Being practical and hard working men they made their way by inches. In 1873, William Jennings Demorest joined the firm and brought them the printing of his fashion papers. The business fi! nally grew quite large and in 1871 was moved to an uptown location. In his present large quarters on Astor place, they do an enormous business in the printing of books, magazines, etc., employing about 500 persons. The present title of J. J. Little & Co. was adopted in 1876. The success of Mr. Little is due to sound business methods, steady persistence, and the adoption of the most modern processes in the work of his house. He is a member of the Aldine, Manhattan, Players' and Democratic clubs, and of the Chamber of Commerce, The General Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen, The American Geographical Society, The American Institute, Lafayette Post, G.

He saw service in the Civil War and has been a member of the Board of Education, resigning to take a seat in the 52d Congress, to wh! ich he was elected by a plurality of over 8,000. He has served on seve ral public committees. In 1866, he married Josephine Robinson. Of their eight children, six survive: Edith Agnes, Arthur W., Louise S. (now Mrs. Thompson), Estelle R., Raymond D., and Elsie Little.

Mrs. Green aided her father in the management of his large estate, and thus, early in life, gained an acquaintance with business methods, which subsequently proved of value. She has retained control of his fortune, and devoted herself with ability to its management and increase. By careful investment, she has become a large holder of stock in sound railroad companies in the West and South, in The Chemical National Bank, and in business blocks and other real estate in Chicago and other parts of the country. A woman of remarkable force of character, Mrs. Green displays little taste for the recreations of fashionable life but derives great pleasure from business pursuits. She is shrewd and exceedingly competent, while at the same time animated with a kindly heart and a spirit of unfailing good nature. Her purchases of new properties are made with sound judgment and generally with excellent success. For a number of years, she operated to some extent in Wall street. Probably no other woman in America travels so much as she, but her trips to various parts of the country have business purposes in view. They are not made solely for recreation. She is rather above the middle height, large in frame, with gray eyes, a strong nose, and regular features. Her chi! ldren are Edward H. R. Green and Sylvia Green.

America's Successful Men of Affairs: An Encyclopedia of Contemporaneous Biography Volume I B James Stanton Bailey page 53 JAMES ANTHONY BAILEY, showman, was born in Detroit, Mich., in 1847. Sacrificing the advantages of a comfortable home, a spirit of enterprise led him at an early age to secure work upon a farm at $3.50 per month. This occupation proved dull, and he proceeded on foot to Pontiac, Mich., and found employment as call boy in a hotel. An agent of "Robinson & Lake's circus", while a guest of this hotel, attracted by [p.53] the brightness and energy of the boy, then gave him a place in the corps of advance agents of the show. He left the circus business in 1864 to become advertising agent of a theatre in Nashville, then served as clerk to an army sutler, witnessing all the battles from Chattanooga to Atlanta, and finally accepted a place once more in the advance corps of the old circus. Here, he became so valuable that James E. Cooper offered him an equal partnership in the circus business, and the firm of Cooper & Bailey was thereupon formed. His enterprise resulted in a tour of t! he Sandwich Islands, Australia, New Zealand, India and South America with the circus, which proved successful. Upon the return to America, the Great London Circus was bought and added to that of Cooper & Bailey and the firm engaged in a contest with P. T. Barnum, which was conducted with so much shrewdness and energy, as to force Mr. Barnum to abandon his favorite territory in the East. Mr. Barnum then offered Mr. Bailey a partnership, which was accepted, leading to the firm of Barnum & Bailey. In October, 1894, Mr. Bailey bought the interest of the heirs of his partner and so became sole proprietor of The Barnum-Bailey Greatest Show on Earth, which he yet conducts. His winter quarters are at Bridgeport, Conn. In 1868, Mr. Bailey married Ruth Louisa McCaddon in Zanesville, O.
