I thought that I was going to be able to give you what could be a starting point for research on your Irena, but I think I may have picked the wrong VT Robinson. Although some of the Rootsweb entries list Irena as born in Washington County New York, her birthplace is VT on the censuses [after 1850]. Washington county VT was not incorporated until 1814. There was a Robinson, Alexander in Argyle Washington County New York 1810 who had 1 girl under the age of 10. There was a Robinson, John in Easton Washington County New York 1810 who had 2 girls under the age of 10. David, along with his son and her future husband Adonijah Fulton were living in Lisbon, Saint Lawrence, NY in 1810. Because most folk named at least one of their children after their father, I looked at the censuses after she was married. Then did a search of the 1810 VT census and picked heads of household [since that is all that was given in those days] whose name matched any one of her male children and who had at least one female under the age of 10. There were David, Daniel and James [Several of each.]. Since there are James and David on the Fulton side, Daniel seemed the most logical choice. Daniels with the right aged girl appeared in Ferrisburg, Addison; Hartford, Windsor; Springfield, Windsor; Thetford, Orange; Strafford, Orange; Not Stated, Bennington. By 1820 only Orange; Strafford, Windsor; Springfield had girls the right age with Daniel as head of household. By 1830 she was married to Fulton, living in NY and had one male child. So where does that get you? Probably nowhere! But I have sent you via personal email a list of the households from 1850-1880 that may contain her family members.[Too long to post here.] If Daniel and Betsey are her parents, Cyrus, Jared, Hiram and Harry could be her brothers. The numbers in brackets represent the household number on the census. Good luck!
