Jacob Robinson, the second child of Isaac Robinson and his unidentified second wife, was bapt. May 15, 1653 by Rev. John Lothrop at Barnstable, Mass. In 1850 Amos Otis considered this Jacob to be one and the same as the Jacob Robinson who married circa 1699 at Tisbury, Mass. and died there in 1728. However, the writer believes this Jacob died young and a second son named Jacob, b. circa 1672 to Isaac's last known wife named Mary, was actually the Jacob Robinson that died of record at Tisbury, Mass. leaving three children b. after 1699.

Isaac's son Jacob born in 1653 at Barnstable would have reached adulthood in 1674 but is not mentioned for 46 years following his baptism. One is then asked to accept the assumption that at 46 years of age he married Experience Rogers, 20 years his junior. In addition, that father Isaac waited until Jacob was 46 years old to give him, by deed of gift, part of his land at Tisbury despite having done so to younger son Peter thirteen years earlier in 1886. Further, after 1700 at Tisbury Isaac Robinson's son Jacob is always mentioned after his brother Isaac in all shared deeds and divisions of land originally held by right of their father.
