First Generation

(Rev.) John Robinson (II) was born Sturton-le-Steeple, Nottinghamshire, England 1576[1], the eldest child of John (son of Christopher) and Ann Robinson. Pastor John died at Leiden 1 Mar 1625(NS)[2] He married St. Mary's Church, Greasly, Nottinghamshire, England 15 Feb 1603/4 Bridget White and they had seven children: Ann (1604), John (1606), Bridget (1608), Isaac (1610), Mercy (1612-1623), James (c1614-1638 unm.),poss. Jacob (1616)[3] and Fear (c1620).

Second Generation

(Dr.) John Robinson (II) was born Norwich, Norfolkshire, England before 24 Mar 1606. The name of his wife is currently unknown. He is said to have had at least John (c1633) and Mary (c1635). John lived (and presumably died) in England and it is currently unknown whether any of his descendants emigrated to the American Colonies.

Isaac Robinson was born Leiden 1610 and died Barnstable (MA) in 1704. He married twice, first Scituate 26 Sep 1636 Eglin/Margaret Hanford and second, Barnstable after 1639 Mary ____. By his first wife he had: Susanna (1637/8 n.f.r.), John (1640), Isaac (1642-1668 unm.), Fear (1644/5), Mercy (1647) and infant daughter (1649-1649). By his second wife he had three more children: Israel (son 1651), Peter (1655) and Thomas (1657).[4]

Third Generation

John Robinson was born 1640

Israel Robinson was born 1651

Peter Robinson was born 1655

Thomas Robinson was born 1657.

  1. various depositions narrow his birth between Mar 1576-Sep 1576.
  2. The European Continent switched over to the (new) Gregorian Calendar in 1582. As such, this date would be ten days later than the date used in England (19 Feb 1624/5).
  3. Several sources call him the youngest son of Pastor John Robinson. It is currently unknown whether this is factual and the further history of Jacob is still uncertain, with some stating he died young.
  4. Some sources state he also had an infant son Thomas, born/died in 1656, but the chronology makes it unlikely.

DNA Results TBD

Previous testing

Next Generation Sequence/Whole Genome Sequence testing

NGS/WGS testing of Allerton descendants would further refine the haplogroup assignment for this family.
