First, the Benjamin Robinson who married Susannah Brock did not move to Kentucky. She died early on, without issue. Second, this Benjamin Robinson died in Spotsylvania Co VA - see his will. Third, the Benjamin Robinson who did move to Kentucky, and did marry the widow Ellis, was in the American Revolution, but there is no proof that he was related in any way to Benjamin, son of Christopher Robinson. In fact, most of the past research points to possible other Robinson lines. Fourth, there is no proof that the Benjamin Robinson who married Susannah Brock was related to Benjamin, son of Christopher. Norman Peters Washington DC
