| I just hate losing good data while a line is being put
together - hence I am putting it here as a source for now - Bruce
From a notes from Robinson Researcher "Heather Robinson":
Good morning Bruce - Now that's exciting!!!! It certainly seems
like there's a connection there. I have some more info on Edmond
Robinson and you're certainly welcome to it:
-Edmond Robinson, baptized Parrsboro, N.S. Sept. 12, 1789. God
parents - Thomas Shreve, Mr. & Mrs. Hatheway.
-Patience Robinson married John Braley Aug. 3, 1790
-Elizabeth Robinson married Peter Levings Sept. 1, 1794
(Source: Parrsboro Township Records)
NOTE: Patience & Elizabeth could be sisters to Edmond
- Edmond Robinson is shown as having land in the "Diligent
River and Back Road" district in 1827 (Source 1827 Tax Bill)
1838 Census Edmond Robinson - 1 female over 14 (that would be his
wife); 1 female 6-14; 2 males 6-14; 2 males 0-6
(NOTE: If they were indeed married in 1813, then there were
obviously older children who had already left the household)
Cumberland County Deeds, Book 2, Page 157: John Braley of
Parrsborough to Edmond Robinson, Dec. 1, 1810 - Braley sold Edmond part
of Lot #52 which Braley had bought from William Hatfield earlier
that year, 250 acres.
(NOTE: This in probably the same John Braley who married Patience
Robinson - even though we can't say for certain, This would SEEMINGLY
confirm a relationship between Edmond & Patience.
Cumberland County Deeds, Book 2, Page 302: Edmond & MARY
Robinson of CORNWALLIS to John Hatfield, April 17, 1815: Robinson
sold Hatfield the above mentioned piece of land.
(NOTE: We now have additional proof that his wife's name was Mary
& they were actually shown as living in Cornwallis in 1815)
Cumberland County Deeds, Book 3, Page 363: Peter Levony,
Parrsboro to Edmond Robinson, April 16, 1827 - In this
transaction, Peter describes Edmond as his "Brother-in-Law".
(NOTE: This makes Peter Levony the same person as described as
Peter Levings in the Township Record and confirms that Edmond had a
sister Elizabeth!)
Now, remember John Braley selling land (part of #52) to Edmond
Robinson? Well, 2 years earlier on Aug. 11, 1808 he sold Lot #53
to MATTHIAS ROBINSON, of Fort Lawrence. Coincidence or is Matthias
another relative of Braley's wife Patience?

Well, well, well Bruce - I think we're on to something here!
I'll certainly keep digging and see if I can come up with more!
By the way, what is the source of the marriage date for Edmund &
Mary please? (Sorry to be a stickler but I like to have the source
in case I have to double check it or something)
Regards,
Heather
