Biography

Samuel & Sarah (Manning) Robinson had two children who lived. Sarah died on 19 July 1709, just three months after the birth of her youngest child, Dorothy, and was buried, I suspect, at Cambridge, Massachusetts.

When the child Dorothy was 2-1/2 years old, Samuel married again, Elizabeth Brigham, the daughter of Capt. Samuel Brigham of Marlborough, Mass. They had three children, two of whom lived to adulthood. Samuel died at Westborough in 1724 (see my note in References). The administration of his will was granted to Elizabeth on 24 Apr 1724. On 24 Feb 1725, Elizabeth’s brother, Jedekiah Brigham, was appointed guardian to the only son, Samuel, then in his 19th year. http://josfamilyhistory.com/htm/hopkins/robinson/robinson-gen1.htm#samsenior
