They had four children b. in Fran. before moving away, but the youngest one was not rec. there, which is doubtless the reason why his name does not appear in either the Fram. History or the Family History. There is no evidence that the two elder ch. ever lived in F., but the rest of the family came here ab. 1975, and settled on L 18 R 8. Mr. R. d. Apr. 15, 180%.

I. Rosalinda, b. Mar. 4, 1789.
JONAS ROBINSON or ROBESON, as he wrote his name after he settled in F., was a native of Lexington, Mass. As he was in trade in F. as early as 1793*, and had pre- viously been in business in Marlboro for a year or more, it is very probable that he came to M. as early as 1:91. This is believed to be correct, though it does not quite agree with the family account, which is that he came to F. in 1994, having previously been in business in Jaffrey with David Paige, a s. of his guardian, as clerk and then as partner. In regard to this, it may be sufficient to say that the History of J. gives the y. that Mr. Paige or Page traded in J. as 1803-05. Some further account of Mr. R. is given on pages 140 and 398.
