My g-g-g grandfather Arthur Christopher Robinson and his wife Anna Dorothea, emigrated from Ireland to Manitowoc Wisconsin together with his parents Christopher and Jane Robinson and his numerous siblings. The Robinson's had a background in distilling but due to the potato famine in Ireland they settled on a farm in Wisconsin. Both Christopher and Jane died there. It is believed that Arthur Christopher returned to Athlone, Ireland in 1859 and then moved his family to Australia in 1862 - not sure on the reason for this. I am a descendant of his son Arthur John Brereton. Arthur Christopher's sister Elizabeth was married to a Captain John Thomas Hutchins who was in the 62nd Foot Regiment in Dehli, India, - he died prior to October, 1845. She and her daughter travelled to USA with her parents and the rest of her siblings and eventually the two of them relocated to Canada where they died - I believe neither of them ever married. Any information relating to this family would be greatly appreciated. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
