It has been thought that this William may have abeen the William of Dorchester, in the memory of whose son Increase you have gathered today. ..........the New Enland Historical Rooms in Boston, the English publication of Joseph Meadows Cowper, published 1892, which comprises the Canterbury marriage, births and deaths in the parish of St. Dunstans, 1568-1618. Under the date of Oct 14, 1637, I find the marriage record of "William Robinson of St. Dunstans, Canterbury, bachelor, about 21, married at Patrixbourne, Margaret Beech, same place, virgin, of the like age, daugher of Agnes Beech, alias Streeter, now wife of Mr. Streeter of the same place." >From the fact that William Robinson of Dorchester is on record as having for his first wife Margaret ______ and second wife Ursula (Streeter) Hosier, is it not possible that this William Robinson of St. Dunstans, Canterbury was the William of Dorchester? The Streeter genealogy, by Milford B. Streeter, of Brooklyn, NY, published in 1896, says that Ursula Streeter or Gloucester, Mass., in 1642, and Charlestown, Mass, 1644, and that Ursula first married, Oct 13, 1656 or 1657, Samuel Hosier of Watertown, who died July 29, 1665;that her second marriage was about 1666 to William Robinson of Dorchester." (pgs. 71-72) William Robinson was b. 1615 in Canterbury England.
