Biography
Edward was born about 1733 in Virginia to John Robinson and Tabitha Jones. [1] He was married to Judith whose maiden name is unknown. They were the parents of eight known children. These children were Stephen, John, Edward Jr, Mary, Jonas, Josiah, Jones, and Field. [2]
On 16 February 1776 Judith filed for a separation from Edward [3] In her bill she says that she married Edward Robinson according to the Rites and Ceremonies of the Church of England and the laws and customs of the Country. She also says that she lived with him a long time in perfect peace and harmony and bore to him and raised many children. She asks for relief and separate maintenance or alimony.
Edward died 10 September 1781 in Cumberland County Virginia. The court ordered the appraisement of his estate 28 January 1782. [4]
