He married Susan Greenman (1780-1864) most likely in Berlin, Rensselaer, NY sometime between 1809-1813. The couple moved to Woodstock, NY by 1816 where they raised two boys, Isaac G. Robinson (1814-1893), a master stone mason, and another son we have yet to identify. At some point, Daniel paid for a lot in Hudson, NY, but the land was never executed to him. He ended up in debt and appealed as an "Insolvent Debtor" in 1821. Some research out there states that Susan Robinson married Jesse Stillman on July 6, 1833, but nobody has a source to back it up (it probably came from a family bible that is lost). If that was the case, then Daniel either died before 1833 or left his family in an attempt to find their fortune out West. We next find evidence of the family in 1834 when Isaac of West Troy, NY married Katharine Peffer in Sandy Hill, NY. Isaac lived in West Troy, Broadalbin, Amsterdam, Glen, and Johnstown. The only other evidence of Daniel's other son is the wedding of Miss Louiza J. Robinson (abt. 1843-1875) to Isaac N. Gledhill of Garrattsville, Otsego, NY. Louiza was married in "the home of her uncle" Isaac G. Robinson in Johnstown, NY where Isaac settled with his family in 1853. Louiza died of consumption in Garrattsville shortly after her 8 month old son, James Robert Gledhill, died. James was a common Gledhill name, but Robert was not, so perhaps Robert was a name in the Robinson family. Isaac's second son was named William Seaman Robinson. We haven't found a connection yet, but we're fairly certain that Seaman is a significant surname in the tree. Our goal at this point is to learn a bit more about Daniel and uncover the identity of his other son. Any info or speculation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
