Samuel Ruggles Robinson

1788 - 1881  (92 years)

• Name	Samuel Ruggles Robinson  [1]
  Birth	14 Oct 1788	Barre, Worcester, Massachusetts, -USA   [1]
  Gender	Male
  Note	After a lot of research I've finally found something about Samuel, in the D.A.R Library. History of Chittenden County, Vermont. Edited by W. S. Rann, 1886. Page 700, Westford in the early Wars. 'During the War of 1812 Captain James Taylor raised a Company, most of which was formed from this town, whose names fellows; Samuel R. Robinson.' Further down the list it reads, 'Samuel R. Robinson died only a short time since, in 1880.' Samuel must have married in the area, the next step is to find the name of his wife. War of 1812 Pensioners. Page 1510, Samuel R. Robinson, S.C. 18616 served Captain Taylor's Company, Vermont, Pvt. In the Westford Town Office I found the records for the birth of Samuel's children, it was recorded at the request of Samuel himself. The marriage date of Samuel and Sally was also included. There was also another marriage listed for Samuel R. Robinson to Polly Ann Hicks, January 1, 1848. There wasn,t a divorce certificate in Middlesex, Vermont, where the state vital records are held. Polly Ann maybe the daughter of Comfort Hicks and Polly Ann Stackhouse. It is also possiable that it was Lemiul and not Samuel who married Polly Ann. I was having trouble trying to make the difference between the old writing of L and S.
