Robinson
William Riley Robinson, a farmer, was born on November 27, 1791, in Goshen, Connecticut. He married Cynthia Stevens on October 28, 1819, in Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania. They had 19 children, 13 of whom were living at his death (10 were in their minority). He died on January 21, 1849, in Forkston, Pennsylvania, at the age of 57. I don't know his cause of death at such an early age, but influenza and cholera were epidemic in 1848-1850.
Stevens Allison Robinson, a farmer, was born on March 20, 1824, in Forkston, Pennsylvania. He married Harriet M Grist on September 9, 1843. They had 13 children. I'm not sure if he was a Civil War veteran or not. He died on August 9, 1911, in Hope, Kansas, having lived a long life of 87 years, and was buried in Dwight, Illinois.
Wesley Lyman Robinson, a farmer, married Mary Isabella "Belle" Hamner on April 3, 1878, in Marion, Iowa. They had eight children. He died on November 20, 1934, in Lovilia, Iowa, at the age of 82, and was buried there.
Leonard Robinson, a WWI veteran and farmer, married Opal Carter on June 30, 1921. They had five children. He died in 1975 in Park Rapids, Minnesota, at the age of 89.
Kenneth Robinson, a wholesale foods distributor, was born in 1935, in Lake Hattie Township, Minnesota. He married Judith Anson and they had two children together. He died in 2012, in DuBois, Pennsylvania, at the age of 77. Kenneth was the grandfather of two grandsons and several step-grandchildren.

Christy, Came across your site tonight. I have have worked on the ROBINSON family of Luzerne Co., PA in what is now Wyoming Co., PA for over 50 years. My husband is the descendant. He has the line double through two of the children of Amasa ROBINSON and Prudence HOWE. Should be need anything in particular I would be glad to see if I have what you need. I have worked for years tracking every descendant I could from Capt. James ROBINSON and his wife Mary THOMPSON, who were the first of the family to come to Luzerne Co., PA. JMB
