Hi Sharon I would recommend that you send your request to the American Revolution lists. There are more than one so use the Rootsweb Mailing List Index to find them all.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Robinson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/3cDBAIB/8017 Message Board Post: There is a book about Robinson genealogy that interests me greatly. One published gedcom (Ancestry/Rootsweb and GenCircles), quotes extensively from this book but never gives a title or author. The submitter of the gedcom can't help. I've been in touch with him. His file was amassed by merging the work of other people. With 202310 individuals in his data, he hasn't the foggiest idea where he got the information or what it means. Quotations from this book indicate that it starts with the family of the immigrant Isaac Robinson and follows lines down into the 20th century. Hoping that someone here will recognize the book, I am quoting just one excerpt, below. This is the note attached to Noah Robinson, born 16 Apr 1758 and died about 1846 in Trumansburg, Tompkins, NY (son of Isaiah Robinson): Robinson book pg #6 shoemaker, revolutionary soldier pg #6: "There is one anecdote of his experiences in war preserved, which I will here relate. The place it occurred is not remembered, but one day he and some fellow soldiers were amusing themselves by leaping. Some of them had made what they thought were pretty good leaps, when an officer came up, and after observing them a few minutes, took off his coat and made a leap, landing quite beyond the best of them, and then quietly walked away. They afterwards learned that the officer was Gen. Washington." I would be exceedingly grateful if anyone can identify this work for me. Sharon
