  • Notes 
    • This George and daughter Ann are often confused with other Georges and daughter Anns in two generations of the Robinson lineage that are likely cousins, sons, relatives of each other that all married into the Hollingsworth lines. It is positive that our George Robinson is not the George who married Catherine Hollingsworth (d. of Valentine) as their daughter, Ann, married a Jonathan Ogden in 1720 according to Jonathan Ogden's will dated 1727. This George was an executor for the estate of James Middleton in Chester Co., PA on Dec. 23, 1710. It lists George's children in this document as being Ann, Mary, Catrin, George, Valentine and Rebecca. (C-234)(C-233)

      It is somewhat likely that our George was a brother to a James Robinson who wrote his will in 1726 in what later became Delaware. James was the father of a George and an Ann. His daughter Ann married Stephen Hollingsworth, son of Valentine Hollingsworth. James's son George came to the Shenedoah Valley in 1739, purchasing 1100 acres of land. (C-233, 234)

      Even though the accepted father of our Ann is a George, it must be kept in mind that there is no proof of this. It could have been an error in research by an early family historian who was confused by the fact that there were at least two George's that had daughters named Ann of similar age.

      As to Ann's mother being an Ann Curtis?, this too is conjecture based on a George Robison who died before 1693 in New Castle Co., Del. who was married to an Ann Curtis? about 1658. This is really early for them to have a daughter Ann about Abraham's age. Ann's mother would have been in her 40's at the time of her birth, so it is possible enough to be included here as theory. (C-1066)
