FRANK TRACY ROBINSON
F ULLY seven centuries the pedigree of the Robinson family goes back in unbroken line. The head of the family then was John Robinson, of Donnington, Lincolnshire, England, who married a daughter of Thomas Paule. In a later generation Nicholas Robinson, a direct descendant from the original John Robinson, was the first Mayor of Boston, Lincolnshire, in 1545. The Reverend John Robinson, who was born in 1575, a grandson of Nicholas Robinson, was one of the leaders of the Puritan movement that culminated in the settlement of the Plymouth Colony in New England. He led one of the companies of Puritans to Amsterdam, Holland, in 1608, afterwards removed to Leyden, and was active in promoting emigration across the Atlantic in the Mayflower. He did not come to this country, but died in Leyden in 1625.
Isaac Robinson, son of the Reverend John Robinson, came to Plymouth in 1630 and lived in Falmouth, Tisbury, Barnstable and Duxbury. In successive generations the line of descent from this John Robinson to Mr. Frank Tracy Robinson was through Peter Robinson, 1665-1740, and his wife, Experience Manton; Peter Robinson, 1697-1785, and his wife, Ruth Fuller, daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth (Thatcher) Fuller; Jacob Robinson, born in 1734, and his wife, Anna Tracy; Vine Robinson, born in 1767, and his wife, Dorcas Chapman, daughter of Elijah and Sarah (Steele) Chapman, and Francis Robinson, 1814-1885, and his wife, Anna La Tourette De Groot.
The mother of Mr. Frank Tracy Robinson, Anna La Tourette De Groot, was a daughter of Henry La Tourette De Groot, 1789-1835, and Mary Nesbitt, daughter of Thomas and Mary (Stanbury) Nesbitt, and granddaughter of John and Mary Nesbitt, of Ireland. On the paternal side Anna La Tourette De Groot was descended from Jacob De Groot, who was one of the early Dutch settlers of Bound Brook, N. J. William De Groot, 1751-1840, was the grandfather of Anna La Tourette De Groot. His wife was Anna La Tourette, daughter of Henry and Sarah La Tourette, and granddaughter of Jean and Marie (Mersereau) La Tourette. The De Groots were an ancient Norman family, long settled at Goudere, on the River Yessel, in South Holland. William De Groot, the great-grandfather of Mr. Robinson, was born in New Jersey in 1751 and died in 1840. He was Sergeant, Ensign and Lieutenant in the First Middlesex County Regiment of New Jersey.
Other notable Colonial families unite in the ancestry of Mr. Robinson. His paternal grand- mother, Dorcas Chapman, was descended from Edward Chapman, who settled in Windsor, Conn., where he was a freeman in 1667. The grandfather of Dorcas Chapman was Lieutenant Samuel Chapman, justice of the peace, Captain of the First militia company in Tolland, Conn., and a participant in the siege of Louisburg. Her father, Elijah Chapman, of Tolland, was several times a representative to the General Assembly. Ruth Fuller, who married Peter Robinson, was descended from Edward and Ann Fuller, who came on the Mayflower in 1620. She was the great-granddaughter of Matthew Fuller, 1610-1678, one of the leading men of the Plymouth Colony, a physician, Captain and surgeon in the militia and representative to the General Court. Anna Tracy, who married Jacob Robinson, was the great-great-granddaughter of Thomas Tracy, a prominent citizen of the Connecticut Colony, a resident of Saybrook, Wethersfield and Norwich, a delegate to the General Assembly and an officer in the militia forces. Her grandfather, Jonathan Tracy, was one of the original settlers of Preston, Conn., a Lieutenant, selectman and deputy to the Legislature.
Mr. Frank Tracy Robinson was born in Brooklyn in 1847, and has been engaged in mercantile life in New York for nearly thirty years. He married Ida May Frost in 1873. His city residence is in Madison Avenue. Mr. and Mrs. Robinson have had three sons, Charles L. F. Blanchard, who died young, and Henry La Tourette Robinson. Mr. Robinson belongs to the Manhattan, Racquet, Players, New York Yacht, New York, Larchmont Yacht and other clubs, and is a member of the New England Society and the Sons of the American Revolution. His son, Charles L. F. Robinson, graduated from Yale University in 1894, and married Elizabeth H. J. Beach. He is a member of the Riding, A $ and New York Yacht clubs.

WILLIAM ROCKEFELLER
P ROMINENT in this generation's industrial progress, the Messrs. Rockefeller are the children of William A. and Eliza (Davison) Rockefeller, of Tioga County, N. Y. There Mr. William Rockefeller, second son of his father's family, was born in 1841. He received his early education in the Academy at Owego, N. Y., and finished his studies in the local schools of Cleve- land, O., whither his father moved when he was about ten years of age. In the year 1858, Mr. Rockefeller began his business career by taking a position as a bookkeeper in an office in Cleveland, where he remained about two years. He then entered the firm of Hughes & Lester in the same capacity, and, when its senior member retired from business in 1862, he became a junior partner in the firm of Hughes & Rockefeller in the produce commission business. It was in this partner- ship that Mr. Rockefeller gained the first substantial success of his business life, and prepared the way for his subsequent achievements in that field.
John D. Rockefeller, the elder brother of Mr. William Rockefeller, born in 1839, was the first to enter the oil business, with which the Rockefeller name has been identified for more than a third of a century. Educated in the public schools of Cleveland, O., he became a clerk in a business house at the age of sixteen, then was cashier and bookkeeper, and at the age of nineteen became the junior partner of the firm of Clark & Rockefeller. In 1860, his firm engaged in the oil refining business under the name of Andrews, Clark & Co., and in 1865 he and Samuel Andrews became the sole proprietors of the enterprise. In 1865, Mr. William Rockefeller became associated with his brother's establishment, and the new firm, known as William Rockefeller & Co., built the Standard Oil Works in Cleveland. In the same year, Mr. William Rockefeller came to New York and established the firm of Rockefeller & Co., which was to represent their growing interests in the metropolitan and foreign markets. This arrangement continued for two years when, in 1867, the further expansion of their business compelled a dissolution of the three firms, which up to that time had conducted it, and a consolidation of the interests of the partners in the single concern of Rockefeller, Andrews & Flagler, Henry M. Flagler coming in as a new partner. In 1870, the Standard Oil Company, of Ohio, was incorporated with John D. Rockefeller as president, and Mr. William Rockefeller as vice-president.
Other refineries were added to the control of the company, and in 1881 the business had reached such enormous proportions that the Standard Oil Trust was organized, and at the same time the Standard Oil Company, of New York. Mr. William Rockefeller was elected vice-president of the Trust and president of the New York company. In 1892, the Trust was dissolved, and since that time the Messrs. Rockefeller and their associates have managed the business through the independent action of the corporations in which they have large interests as stockholders. Com- panies with which they are connected control the larger portion of the trade in petroleum and its products in the United States, and, through a large export trade, exercise a very great influence upon the business in all parts of the world.
Mr. William Rockefeller has been a resident of New York for more than thirty years. He was married in 1864, at Fairfield, Conn., to Almira Geraldine Goodsell, and has four children living: Emma, who married Dr. D. Hunter McAlpin, Jr .; William G., who married Elsie Stillman; Percy Avery, and Ethel Geraldine Rockefeller. In 1875, he built and has since occupied the house at the corner of Fifth Avenue and Fifty-fourth Street. His country seat is an estate on the banks of the Hudson, near Tarrytown, which he purchased a few years ago and which he has improved by laying out extensive grounds. Mr. Rockefeller is a director in the Consolidated Gas Company, the United States Trust Company, the National City Bank, the Hanover National Bank, the Leather Manufacturers' National Bank, the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad, the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad, and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway, and is connected with many other corporations. He is a member of the Union League, Metro- politan, and Riding clubs.
