New London Co., CT, includes the towns of Stonington and North Stonington that to the east adjoins Westerly, RI and Hopkinton, RI, homes of our early ancestral Robinson families of the Edward (1), Francis (2), Edward (3) Robinson line. The Francis/Edward Robinson family farm(s) were partly in Stonington and partly in Westerly (north Westerly became Hopkinton in 1757), according to Deed transfer records of Francis (3)Robinson (born about 1680). Just north of New London County, can be seen Windham, Ct., home of the Rev. John Robinson, Pastor of Duxbury, Mass, who later settled at Lebanon, Windham, CT., and procreated a Robinson line in Connecticut with marital connections to three Trumbull governors, including a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Preston, CT, became the home of Edward (4) Robinson (married Rix), before his migration to Richmond, Berkshire Co., Mass. This entire area is fertile Robinson historical land. The East Haddam church cemetery includes numerous early Robinsons, as does Durham, CT., to the west of Haddam.
