    1. Re: [WRY] Quakers in Yorkshire Look Up: ROBINSON
    2. Looking for any info on the ROBINSON family -- Anthony Robinson, b. abt 1702, m. Elizabeth Wharton abt 1732, Ravenstondale, Yorkshire. Anthony was the son of John Robinson (no other info, but probably b. bef 1685). Anthony is the father of Mary Robinson b. 1739 Ravenstonedale, wife of Robert Wilkinson of Sedbergh. Some of the Robinsons were early Quakers. "Mary Wilkinson" (wife of Robert) is listed as a Quaker ancestor in a 1880's history of Edwards and White Counties, Illinois. Excerpt from the will of John Robinson's uncle, Anthony Robinson, who d. 1711 Dovengill: 1710 7 March. Anthony Robinson of Ravenstonedale, quaker, left by will to his nephew John Robinson 20s. yearly for life at Midsummer, "£10 at six months and £10 at two years after my decease, and if my said nephew John Robinson be not content with what I have herein given him and give disturbance . . . then he shall have no benefit." To Ralph and John, sons of the nephew John Robinson, he gives the tenant-right estate at Dovengill in Ravenstonedale, equally divided, and "the cupboard, great table and dish-bench, allmery and four bedsteads or bedstocks" . . .
