Robinson or Robertson around 1800 by her father. He supposedly was the son of a Capt. Robinson who lived nearby in Greenbriar Co., VA. She had wanted to marry Benjamin Harrison Jones who was a tracker for Lewis and Clark in 1803/05. Capt. Arbuckle forbade her to marry Jones and arranged for the Robinson union. Robinson/Robertson married Margaret and quickly removed her to Natchez. After several years and seven children Robinson died. She made her way to Kentucky where her parents were living at the time. Jones had become a rich man and upon hearing that Margaret was a widow sought her out, married her and they had six more children. Is anyone on this list aware of this story and do you by chance know the children from the Robinson/Robertson union? What was the Colonel's first name?

JOHN2 ROBINSON JR. was born ca. 1691. 3 ii. JACOB ROBINSON was born ca. 1693. 4 iii. ISAAC ROBINSON was born ca. 1695. 5 iv. Sarah Robinson was born ca/ 1699. 6 v. Alexander Robinson John ROBINSON, Sr., born ca. 1660 (in England?); died 1721 in Goochland (Henrico?) County, Virgania (at age 61), was the son of Thomas Robinson (vs John ROBINSON) - need to check reference in: Ref:Billie Redding Lewis, Ancestors along the James (Virginia's Old Waterway) (Decorah, Iowa: Anundsen Publishing Co., 1998). (only a few copies exist) He married Mavell EAST daughter of Thomas East. John was a coller maker" who probably made collars for horses (or "cotter maker"?). John wrote his signature on the few documents that we have found, his sale of land in 1696 to Henry Turner, his deed of land in 1714 to his son, John Jr., and his 1719 witness to the will of Charles Scruggs. Few men of his day could read or write. June 10, 1690, Thomas East Sr. gave his daughter Mavell, "1/5 of a tract taken up by me, Robert Woodson, Sr., John Woodson, William Porter and Robert Clarke, 106 Acres on the south side of White Oak Swamp, now in possession of John Robinson who married said Mavell East." Wit. Hannah Charles, Tho. Charles.[xiii] The following patents probably refer to this land owned by John Robinson: Capt. Thomas Cocke patented 49 acres of land in Henrico County on the north side of the James River, adjoining John Roberson, "to line of the White Oakes land on head line of the patent of Mongyes," 26 Apr. 1698.[xiv] Capt. Thomas Cocke patented 943 acres, part of 1983 acres that his father Mr. Thomas Cocke had patented in 1675 and deserted. The land was known as Mongyes on the north side of the James River in Charles City County, "beginning on line of Mr. Harrison to falling ground of the Western nigh deep runne crossing bridge road nigh John Roberson's house."[xv] The 1675 patent described the 1983 acres as in Charles City County on the north side of the James River, "beginning upon Gilles path near Merridaes path over Mongoies Run to the western branch of Herring Creek to a run of Chickahominy."[xvi] February 1, 1691, John Robinson, Richard Ferris, Wm. Ferris, and Edward Mosby presented the inventory of Michaell Gartwrite at court. [xvii] John served on a jury in Henrico County in 1695. January 23, 1693/4, Henry Turner and Ann his wife of New Kent County, Virginia, sold to John Robinson of Henrico County, 712 acres of land in Henrico County for 3000 pounds of tobacco. The land was on the north side of the Chickahominy Swamp and 150 acres was to be deducted next to Mrs. Francis Izzard for the use of Henry Turner. Wit. Edward Finch, Benja. Clarke. Recorded 2 April 1694. [xviii] 30 September 1696, John Robinson sold this same land back to Henry Turner for 3000 pounds of tobacco. Wit. John Haile, Thomas Cardwell, All. Clarke. Signed, John Robinson. Mavell, wife of John, relinquished her dower right. [xix] This may have been a mortgage to Henry Turner. Other deeds locate this land on Uphnam Brook. "Upuans Brook, now known as Brook Creek, was also known in the eighteenth century as Ufnam, Oughnom and Upland Brook. It rises north of Richmond and flows easterly to enter the Chickahominy near Meadow Bridge. The site is now known as Chamberlayne Heights."[xx] October 1, 1696, John Robinson, All. Clarke and John Field witnessed the deed when Thomas and Ann Cardwell sold 275 acres of land to George Fairfax. The land was on the north side of the James River and bounded by Gilley's Creek, Robert Green and said Cardwell.[xxi] John Robinson was a Quaker. Quakers endured severe persecution in Virginia, persecution that included jail and fines of money and property. Their membership and meetings were held in secret. The Religious Toleration Act was passed in England in 1688, allowing dissenting religious groups to hold services openly. The act was put on the Henrico County Books in 1690 and at that time, John Pleasants gave a parcel of land for a Quaker meetinghouse and graveyard. This first meetinghouse was replaced with a new structure in 1700. Records were being kept in June of 1699 when a meeting was held at the home of William Porter, Jr. at Curles in Henrico County. In December of that year subscriptions were received to repair the meetinghouse at Curles or build another. John Robinson gave 250 pounds of tobacco and was listed as one of the first members of the Curles meeting along with members of the Pleasant family, Woodsons, Porters, Watkins, Hughes and others. [xxii] He witnessed the Quaker wedding of Benjamin Woodson and Sarah Porter in 1700. In February of 1700/1, he voiced his objection to the marriage of Joseph Woodson and Jane Woodson because they were "too near akin they being second cousins."[xxiii] The marriage took place over his objection. In 1702, John Robinson was dismissed from the Quaker fellowship because he had "married out."[xxiv] The famed Quaker missionary Thomas Story visited the Curles Meeting about 1699. He learned that Jane and John Pleasant's son was about to marry out, so he preached a sermon on mixed marriages and God's displeasure with them. This became a very serious matter and John was probably under pressure to bring Mavell into fellowship with the Quakers. During the time John Robinson's dismissal was under consideration James Howard and Joseph Parsons were being asked to give their reasons for not attending the Quaker meetings. It is obvious that they were not in agreement with his dismissal from the fellowship but they made the following statement at the next meeting: "James Howard and Joseph Parsons gave the meeting satisfaction that they were in unity with the settlement of the meeting." Members of the Howard and Parson families were to move to Lunenburg County with John Robinson Jr. John Robinson patented 831 acres in Henrico County, Virginia on 24 April 1703. The land was on the north side of the James River at a place known by Gilley's Creek, beginning at John Bayly, across the southern branch and crossing Gilley's main creek. He named as his headrights: Hugh Edwards, James Evans, Mary Horney, Martha Floyd, and 13 rights paid for to Wm. Byrd, Esq., auditor.[xxv] That same day John sold 404 acres of this land patent to his brother-in-law Thomas East Jr. for 500 pounds of tobacco.[xxvi] Index of Virginia Residents, 1607-1800, by Dorothy Ford Wulfeck, included the marriage of a Joyce Robinson to a Samuel Bayly. As the Baylys and Robinsons were neighbors, further data may be available to prove a relationship of Joyce Robinson to this John Robinson. In October of 1711, John Robinson was one of 22 men who presented a claim for payment for work done at the Battery at Jamestown.[xxvii] 5 March, 1714/15, John Robinson Sr., coller maker, gave his eldest son John Robinson Jr. 60 acres of land: "land lying and being on the north side of Gilley's Brook on the laine tract I now live on towards the upper end of the line." The land was never to be sold or mortgaged. Witnessed by Richard Williams and Eleanor (E) Williams. Signed by John Robinson, senior. Recorded at Henrico Court 4 April 1715, William Randolph, Clerk.[xxviii] About the time John gave this land to his son, he had land surveyed on Gilley's Creek, but he never filed for a patent. "At a council held at Williamsburg, day of December 11, 1728. Present the Governor, James Blair, William Byrd, Richard Fitzwilliam, William Dandridge, John Custis and William Randolph, Esquires. Disputes about entry's for lands were determined: Abraham Abney and Thomas Claiborne by their petitions setting forth that about 14 years ago there was surveyed for John Robertson of Gilley's Creek in the said county and adjoining to the lands of one Thomas East but no patent hath ever been sued out for the said land, nor any survey thereof returned into the secretary's office and praying that according to the orders of government in that behalf made the said lands may be granted to the petitioners. It is ordered that the said John Robertson be summoned to appear before this board at the next court of Oyer and Terminer to shew cause why the said land ought not be gr! anted according to the prayer of the said petition." Wm. Robertson, Clerk of Court. It was perhaps obvious to those who were present that John Robinson had died, but they were following legal procedure. Henrico County deeds reveal names of John Robinson's neighbors: Thomas Harwood, Henry Brazele, Edwd. Moseby, Wm. Porter, Breashure Cocke, Thomas Pleasants, Richard Cocke, Sr., John Webb, Sr. and Giles Carter.[xxix] John Robinson, his brother Thomas Robinson, Thomas Cardwell and William Eslee (Easly) witnessed the will of Charles Snuggs (Scruggs), 20 December 1718. The will was presented at court 2 Feb., 1718/19.[xxx] The inventory of the estate was made by Thomas Cardwell, Thomas Robertson and Thomas Wood, presented at court by William Bradshaw and recorded 6 April 1719. [xxxi] (Thomas Cardwell was married to Martha Perrin, Ann Perrin's sister, Ann was married to Thomas East Jr. Marble's brother.) John Robinson's will was written December 5, 1720. This date was given as part of a deed of land sold in 1751 by John Robinson Jr. to Alexander Robinson. Part of that record read: "given by John Robinson in his will 5 Dec. 1720."[xxxii] He died before July, 1721 at which time his will was proved at court and ordered recorded "but no administration with will annexed being then nor since granted to Mavell, widow of said John, it is ordered that she be summoned to next court to accept or refuse administration." This was recorded at court 1 Oct. 1722.[xxxiii] Mavell appeared at court 5 Nov. 1722 and accepted administration of the estate. Alexander Robertson and John Price, security. Thomas Williamson, Daniel Price, Robert Green and Henry Brazeel were to appraise the estate.[xxxiv] Mavell Robinson presented the inventory of John Robinson at court, 7 Jan. 1723, and 7 Oct. 1723.[xxxv] Henrico County Wills and Deeds are missing for the years 1718 to 1725. We are fortunate that a few court records exist. Later deeds prove the names of three sons of John and Mavell: John Jr., Jacob and Isaac. James Robinson, a carpenter who married Susannah Chastain (daughter of Dr. Peter Chastain), may have been John and Mavell's son but we found no proof. The births of James and Susannah's children were listed in the Douglas Register at the same time as Isaac and Ann's children and they were family names - Ann b. 12 April, 1731; Alexander b 28 June, 1732; Zacarie b. 15 Dec., 1733; James b. 7 June, 1735; Marie b. 20 May 1739. James Robinson's will (21 February 1748, Goochland County, Virginia) gave his son Zacariah Robinson the plantation "whereon I now live" and gave Andro Diar 130 acres of land in Henrico County. His son James Robinson was to be given the 130 acres if Andro Diar did not pay him four pounds, four shillings. Five pounds was to be divided between his wife, not named, and three daughters, Ann, Mary and Eliza. John Harris was executor and Eliza Battersby and James Ford witnessed the will.[xxxvi] Dr. Peter Chastain was a French Huguenot (Protestant) who immigrated to Virginia to escape religious persecution. Manakin Town was the site of the new Huguenot settlement. The Monocan Indians had deserted the area as the colonists advanced westward. During the summer of 1700 more than eight hundred Huguenots sought refuge in Virginia and the first group of 207 refugees journeyed up the James to the falls. There, Col. William Byrd II gave them shelter on his plantations. Col. Byrd was ordered to lay out 10,000 acres of land for the French refugees in 1704 and the settlement increased to about 500 inhabitants. During the first difficult years they were exempt from paying any taxes for seven years so they could support their own ministers. Manakin Town was only a few miles distant from our Robertson family on Gilley's Creek. Dr. Chastain died in 1728 naming his daughter Susanna in his will.[xxxvii] James and Susannah owned other land in Goochland County but the following deed proves Susannah's relationship to Dr. Peter Chastain. In 1731, James and Susannah Robinson of St. James Parish, Goochland County sold Thomas Dickins of the Parish of King William, Goochland County, 115 acres of land for 15 pounds. The land had been left to Susannah "by reason of the death of my sister Mary, it being the 1/2 part of the proportionable compliment of my sister Mary's late father Peter Chastains will."[xxxviii] In 1755, Zachariah Robertson sold John Pleasants Jr. of Cumberland County 130 acres of land which was devised to him by the last will of his father James Robertson, dec'd, "being part of 379 acres as per patent to Capt. Peter Chastain, dec'd bearing date 9 July, 1724, and lying on the west side of Jones Creek in Cumberland County." [xxxix] In 1748 this part of Goochland County became Cumberland County. Mavell East Robinson died before 16 May 1737. At that time, her brother Thomas East of Hanover County, Virginia, "son and heir of Thomas East, Sr. of Henrico County, dec'd" sold Sackvil Brewer of Henrico County, Virginia 106 acres of land on the south side of White Oak Swamp. "Land was formerly given by Thomas East, dec'd, to his daughter Mavell East for life; which term being expired, land reverts to said Thomas East as heir at law."[xl] This sale was recorded at court June 1, 1737 but must have been contested because it is the same land Mavell's grandson sold in 1753: 1753 - 1 July, John Roberson Jr. sold to Martin Martin, both of Henrico County, 106 acres on the south side of White Oak Swamp for 40 pounds, "being a 1/5 part of a tract of land taken up by Thomas East Sr., Robert Woodson Sr., John Woodson, William Porter and Robert Clarke and given by the said Thomas East unto his daughter Mavell, grandmother to the aforesaid John Robinson by deed bearing date 1690." Signed, John Roberson Jr. Anne, wife to the said John being privately examined relinquished her right of dower in the land. Witnessed by Ephraim Cartright, William Warringer, and James Allin.[xli] This pioneer Robertson family began to move further south where more land for their sons beckoned them. John and Mavell's son Isaac settled on Buffalo River and Buffalo Creek in what was soon to be Prince Edward County. Isaac left a son, John, in Chesterfield County. The vast land further south was all Lunenburg County when John and Mavell's sons Jacob and John Jr. settled on Louse and Cub Creeks, just north of the Staunton River in what would become Charlotte County.

This was Catherine's hometown, and her parents were Joseph Wells and Mary Duckle. I want to trace this John Robinson--I do not have birth or death dates or places for him, nor do I know his parents. I have names for only two of the children of this John and Catherine Robinson: Mary b. 1742 in Misterton, and John b. 1744 Misterton. Were there any other siblings? John b. 1744 moved to Lincolnshire and married Elizabeth Stockdale in Scotter, Lincs. I have their subsequent history. I have spoken to Olive Batty, and she has a Samuel Robinson from Misterton, who could be related. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I will take this problem up again with the distributor here in the UK. Meanwhile I suggest again that you give Amazon a miss since they order it from the UK in any case (and apparently very slowly and randomly). I think you will do much better going direct to the publishers/distributors yourselves at the link below and get it direct from them. After all, they will be sending to Amazon in North America when Amazon can get their act together enough to request it, which they are supposed to do as required.
