Robinson was a Friend (Quaker)

Research Notes

No birth record located. Birthdate estimated based on wife's birthdate.

His parents are tentative. While there is no direct proof that he's the child of Benjamin Unthank and Anne Robinson, his name is highly suggestive. See also the congregational record cited below, which shows that in 1741 he produced a letter from his mother assenting to the marriage. This is consistent with the fact that Anne was alive in that year, but Benjamin had died some years before.
