Edward Robinson was the son of Christopher Robinson of Bristol Parish, then in Henrico Co., Va., who first appears in the records in 1642 in a grant to John Ewens, Jr., in Charles City Co., (C. & P., p. 189), and on Feb. 23, 1652, was granted 600 acres of land in Henrico Co., Va. along with John Sturdevant (C. & P., p. 273). Christopher Robinson was dead by Aug. 31, 1663, when Francis Burrell gave bond for the administration of his estate (VM, 18, p. 196). On Oct. 19, 1677, Edward Robinson and Anne, his wife, he being son and heir of Christopher Robinson, decd., late of Bristol Parish, Henrico Co., deeded the land he enherited to Nicholas Dyson and Richard Kennon (Henrico Co. D. & W. Bk. #1, p. 25). http://jrshelby.com/rfotw/robinson.txt Christopher Robinson of Bristol ParishEdward Robinson John Ewens, Jr., Francis Burrell Nicholas Dyson Richard Kennon Nicholas Roberson first appears in the Charles City Co. records in 1687-8, when he recorded his mark for cattle (Charles City Orders, 1687-95, p. 109), indicating that he was of age, so born about 1665-7. On April 21, 1698, he and Nicholas Darrell were granted jointly 289 acres of land (Patent Hook 8, p. 55). We have indicated that his first wife was a daughter of Matthew Marks. His second wife was Jane Tillman, daughter of Roger and Susannah Tillman of Prince George Co. The will of Susannah Tillman, aged 69 years, was dated Nov. 19, 1716, and probated in Prince George Co. Mar. 12, 1?16-17 (D. & W. 1713-28, p. 1d4). http://jrshelby.com/rfotw/robinson.txt Nicholas DarrellJane TillmanRoger TillmanSusannah Tillman It mentions sons Thomas Parham, George Tillman, and John Tillman; daughters Jane Robinson and Christian Abernathy; granddaughter Mary Bethel; and grandson Robert Abernathy. Susannah Tillman's son, Thomas Parham, in his will dated Feb. 15, 1716-17 and probated May 14, 1717, mentions as lagatees: Nicholas Robyson (100 acres of land), John Tillman, William Pettypool, Sr., sons Thomas and William Parham, daughters Amy Jones, Elizabeth Tucker, Phoebe, Susannah, and Jane, and wife Elizabeth (D. & W. 1713-28, p. 168). http://jrshelby.com/rfotw/robinson.txt Thomas ParhamChristian Abernathy;Amy JonesElizabeth Tucker, On May 12, 1718, Nicholas Robertson of Bristol Parish deeded the land left him by Thomas Parham to George Tillman, the land having originally been patented by Roger Tillman, father of George (same, p. 228), and Jane Robyson, wife of Nicholas, relinquished her dower in the land Nov. 14, 1721 (p. 501). The deed was witnessed by John Robyson and George Davenport (husband of Mary Marks). This is the last appearance of Nicholas Roberson in the records. http://jrshelby.com/rfotw/robinson.txt Israel Roberson (Robertson, Robinson, Robyson), the father of Susannah Robertson Kendrick, was born in Prince George Co., Va., about 1698-1700, as his oldest son, Matthew, was born in 1720, and Israel himself was not too old to serve as an Ensign in the Granville Co., N.C. militia in the General Muster Oct. 8, 1?54 (N.C. Colonial and State Records, Vol. 22, p. 372-3). He served in the same company, Capt. Richard Coleman's, as James and John Kendrick, and the list of militiamen shows also Israel's sons, Matthew (Sergeant), Israel, Jr., and John Robinson. http://jrshelby.com/rfotw/robinson.txt Prince George Co., Va. records indicate practically conclusively that Israel Roberson and his brothers, John and Edward Roberson, were sons of Nicholas Roberson, of Bristol Parish, Prince George Co., thus connecting them with two of the founders of the first Baptist Church established in Virginia http://jrshelby.com/rfotw/robinson.txt James Kendrick, son of William Kendrick and Sarah Jones was born about 1733-4, probably in Isle of Wight Co., Va. He was probably the eldest son of this couple, being the child brought into the Colony of North Carolina with them about 1735. He and his brother John were old enough to be in the Granville Co. militia Oct. 8, 1754, in the Great Muster for the French and Indian War (N.C. Col. and State Rec., Vol. 22, p. 373). This shows they were over 16 years of age, but as their sister Mary was born in 1738, they were obviously born a few years earlier, James about 1733-4 and John Kendrick about 1735-6. The tax-lists of Granville Co., N.C. shows James as a tithable in 1755 in William Kendrick's family, his brother Jahn having probably moved elsewhere at this time. James must have married during this same year, 1755, Susannah, daughter of Israel and Sarah Roberson of Granville Co., for John Kendrick, their eldest son, was appointed constable in his father's militia district in Chatham Co., N.C. at the November Court, 1777, showing that he was of age, and probably born in 1756, certainly not later than date.
