IHISTORY OF SANBORNTON.
THE ROBINSON FAMILIES. - THREE BRANCHES. - I.
The surname Robinson, with its cognate Robertson, has been a very common one on both sides of the Atlantic, and any attempt to trace all the Robinsons of America to " Pastor John," of early Puritan memory, must prove unavailing. Exeter seems to have been the hive of two of the three distinct families of the name identified with San- bornton (Branches I. and III.), and perhaps, originally, of the third (Branch II.). Three of the naine were also " grantees," Jonathan, Sen. and Jr., and Josiah, all of Exeter. Our early settlers, Benjamin (I.) and John (III.) may have been related to them, but the fewness or entire absence of Jouathans and Josiahs in the families of these set- tlers, and the fact that none of them settled right upon, though some quite near, the lots granted, serve to make this connection a matter of uneertainty.
1. BENJAMIN ROBINSON, Sen., is supposed to have come from Ex- eter at the same time with his son [3], with whom he settled. Ilis first wife here d., March 14, 1798, and he m., 2d, Mrs. Elizabeth, widow of Dea. Ebenezer Colby ( see p. 171 [117]), her fourth husband, Oet. 1, 1799 (Crockett). He d. (probably) Dee. 7, 1809, and she (probably) Dee. 8, 1822. Children of his, who came to this town :

5. JAMES, b. 1772 (?); was insane, but lived on the same lot with his father, northwest of the present Clay place He d., uum., of palsy, Ang. 31, 1845, ae. 73; or, possibly, Dec. 20, 1846, as a " Mr. James Robinson " then also d.
6. LEVI2 [2] (Benjamin1), eame "originally from Exeter," and had settled in Sanbornton prior to July 13, 1783, as his wife Mary - Leavitt (?) (b. 1756, d. June 18, 1812, in her 57th year) on that day united with the Congregational Church, on profession of faith. Ile located east of Hunkins's Pond (Lot No. 8. Ist Div., Site 1), and afterwards joined the same church, being baptized " by immersion, by Rev. Mr. Woodman " (probably in said pond), Nov. 22, 1791. This was the occasion of a sermon by Mr. W. on " Christian Charity," ete., which was afterwards printed. He rem. early to New Hampton. Was in the Revolutionary war, as he used to come to Sanbornton annually for his pension, of Esq. Charles Lane, till his death, in N. H., Oct. 22, 1849, in his 97th year. Children :
