Francis (1680~1762) and Elizabeth Robinson's farm was was located on land partly in RI and partly in Stonington, CT. This farm land was passed in part to son Edward and Martha Robinson and then to son Francis and Sarah Robinson. Other nearby land was sold by Francis and Elizabeth in various eraly deed transfers. This early map shows the disputed boundary area (1653-1728) between Rhode Island and Connecticut during this period. The Robinson farm land was located at least partly in this disputed area, above the bend in the Pawcatuck River at Westerly, the northern part of which later became Hopkinton, RI, in 1757.
