Biography

from Cuz Joan Clifford on RootsWeb

Benjamin Robinson (the Rev War Vet) who married 1st Mildred Burbridge (and second Agnes Waller in 1811). Probably this Benjamin and Joseph Robinson were related as a deed states they bought land together. . . Joseph's son John Robinson married Sarah Berry of Clark County and she was a twin sister to Fanny G. Berry who married John Robinson, son of Benjamin Robinson and Mildred Burbridge. Both marriages in 1802. . . One of Benjamin Robinson [the Rev War Vet] and Mildred Burbridge's daughters was Polly McCann. Benjamin Robinson (the Rev War Vet, 1752-1835) had son named Benjamin who wrote his will in November of 1824. It was probated in January 1825. Benjamin Robinson married Mary, also called Polly, who, I've been told was Polly Beatty. Mary Robinson, who I take to be Benjamin's widow, is included in the various deeds in which Benjamin (the Rev War Vet) transfers his lands and property to his heirs. Mary "Polly" Robinson died in 1844. Benjamin [Jr] and Polly Robinson also had a son named Benjamin F., but that would be too late to be compounding any confusion for you over the various Benjamins. I believe Benjamin Robinson, son of the Rev War Vet Benjamin Robinson and Mildred Burbridge, would have been an adult in 1812. For one thing he had a married daughter in 1824 when he wrote his will. And another thing would be that his mother, Mildred Burbridge, was at least 5 years older than her second husband, Benjamin Robinson, and she would have been getting a bit old to have had children much after 1890.

see in FamilySearch/tree as seen 2/22/2020 in attached source the will of Benjamin, mentioning wife Polley and mentioning dau Nancy Jenkins and what he has already given her - he wants her to be made 'equal' by giving the other offspring equally valuable property
