- CHILDREN OF WILLIAM & ELIZABETH (WILLIAMS) ROBINSON:
William Robinson Jr. William Jr. evidently had the gift of acquisition, and became a man of substance, judged by the standards of his age. As the eldest son, he applied to have his father's will set aside and insisted on his right, as the oldest son, to have a "duble portion", which was granted him. William and his wife had nine children. Elizabeth Robinson died in 1747 and William died in 1754 at the age of 81 years. His real estate was appraised at £7721 5sh and his personal worth was £1014 17sh 6d.
SAMUEL ROBINSON Sr., b. 1680. He married Sarah Manning.
Elizabeth Robinson.
Jonathan Robinson, b. 20 April 1682. Jonathan was specifically mentioned in his father's will in 1693, for his maintenance, and that he be carefully brought up by his sister, Elizabeth. The father's heart went out tenderly to his youngest boy, left in the world without a parent's care. Jonathan must have continued to live with his sister until 16 May 1698, when, according to the record made in the Middlesex, Mass., Probate records, "Jonathan Robinson, a minor of 16 years, made choice of Nath'll Sparrowhawk to be his guardian and he accepted." Jonathan was a weaver. His mother's uncle, Isaac Williams, was a man of means and influence, and lived on the farm adjoining that of William Robinson, and he, by trade, was a weaver. Jonathan must have learned his trade from his uncle. He must have been industrious, energetic and saving, for he both married and purchased his farm in Lexington at the early age of twenty-four. His wife's name was Ruth Morse. There is more about Jonathan in The Robinson Family.
David Robinson, born probably in 1683. David was specifically mentioned in the his father's will in 1693. The request was that David, "fifteen years old, lame and helpless," have his maintenance and be carefully brought up by his sister, Elizabeth.
