There was also a Charles Robinson Chair Co. in Rochester, NY and the company at one point made the highly prized Robinson chairs in the mid 1800's. No more info on him........! The lst paragraph re John Robinson supposedly had a father by the name of Jeremiah fr. Canada. Believe John Robinson m. a Judith Macy in Rochester. Don't know if either was b. here, but Judith d. in Rochester abt. mid 1800's. Rochester records seem to show this Robinson going into a partnership w/my gggfather, Daniel Wood Chase, under the name of Robinson and Chase. J. Robinson died shortly thereafter either early 1865 or 67, in Rochester, and the firm became Chase and Otis ( a partner my D. W. Chase had in the nursery and lumger business.....! I know no more of John R.? Robinson, burial place, etc.....! FYI, Thee is info at the Roch. Public Lib. (Rundel Library) available on line that shows these 2 companies........if , this info may help anyone else! Sure hope so......!!!! Anyyyyyy help anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated.... Thanks so very much! Barb Chase Thompson ace3399@msn.com
