His parents were George W. Robinson (born abt 1824 NY) and Cornelia (born abt 1835). They lived in Greenport. There is also a Frances Robinson. Her birth dates vary between 1826-1831 and looks to be a sister of George.Chad Wecklerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15721057452000779552noreply@blogger.com
