Robinson, Thomas R. (Thomas Richardson), 1761-1851
Thomas R. Robinson (1761-1851), son of Thomas and Sarah (Richardson) Robinson, was a Quaker from Newport, Rhode Island, who moved to Vergennes, Vermont, in 1792 and then to nearby Ferrisburgh. There he settled on land deeded to him by his brother William and operated a farm called Rokeby, which remained in his family until 1962. Robinson established saw, grist, and fulling mills on the Lewis Creek a few miles away and in 1810 purchased some of the first Merino sheep to be imported from Spain. He was also active in Quaker life and the antislavery movement.
Robinson married Jemima Fish (1761-1846), daughter of David and Lydia (Dennis) Fish, in 1787. Their son was Rowland T. Robinson; their daughter Abigail (1789-1835) was the wife of Nathan C. Hoag (1785-1854) and mother of Rachel (Hoag) Jewell (born 1811).
