I descend from the Paynes of Virginia by Brooke Payne and generation 1 and 2. John Payne married Margaret Robinson or Jennings. This hasn't been proven if she was a Robinson or not but John Payne referred to Richard Robinson as kin. Here is the will of Christopher Robinson. I do not know if he is kin to Richard Ribinson or not. My research on the Robinsons is not concluded. Sorry for this will being so long. Marianne Dillow _____________________________________________________________________ WILL OF CHRISTOPHER ROBINSON, 1693.Chris topher Robinson, whose will is here printed from a certified copy in the possession of a descendant, was son of John Robinson, of Cleasby, Yorkshire, England, and brother of John Robinson, Bishop of London. He was born at Cleasby, about 1645, and came to Virginia about 1666, settling at an estate on the Rappahannock, in Middlesex county, which was later called "Hewick." He was a member of the House of Burgesses for Middlesex in 1691, was appointed to the Council in the same year, and Secretary of State in 1692. He married (1) Agatha, daughter of Bertram Obert (who seems to have been the mother of all of his children), and (2) Catharine, widow of Major Robert Beverley. Of his sons, John (1683-1749), was President of the Council, and acting Governor, and Christopher, of " Hewick" (1681-1727), was member of the House of Burgesses. A lengthy note (chiefly derived from the records of Middlesex), on Christopher Robinson and his children, wa! s published in this Magazine, in July, 1898. Those interested in agriculture will note the "ingine" for drying tobacco, which is mentioned.]In the Name of God Amen.

Robert Norden to become pastor of a Baptist congregation, and at the Prince George Co. Court June 14, 1715, Robert Norden, "An Anabaptist preacher", took the oath of allegiance, and Matthew Mark's home was authorized as a meeting house for the Baptists (O.B. 1714-20, p. 20). At the next court, July 12, 1715, "On the motion of Nicholas Robertson it's ordered that his house be recorded a publick meeting house for the sext of Anabaptists" (p.25).
