The second son named Jacob in the Isaac Robinson, Sr. family was likely born at Tisbury, Mass. circa 1672, the son of his father's last known wife named Mary. Whereas in 1686 his father had deeded land at Tisbury to Jacob's half-brother Peter, Isaac Robinson, Sr. did not do so to this son until April 1699.
Much like his brother Isaac, if this Jacob was, as Otis claimed in 1860, one and the same as Isaac's son Jacob bapt. by Rev. Lothrop in 1653, it would seem very unusual for such son to wait until he was 46 years of age to receive the first division of his father's land, some 14 years after a presumed younger sibling had received land. Further, that he is not mentioned for more than 46 years until he marries in 1700 to a woman 20 years younger than himself. For the memorialist, these contradictions discredit Amos Otis' 1860 conclusion that the Jacob Robinson that d. at Tisbury, Mass. in 1728 was b. at Barnstable, Mass. in 1653.
In or about 1699, this Jacob Robinson m. Experience Rogers, dau. of William Rogers and Martha Barnard of the Island of Nantucket, b. there June 22, 1673. There were three children of this marriage: Jacob, Isaac and Mary.
Jacob Robinson does not appear to have had any meaningful civil appointment at Tisbury or elsewhere on Martha's Vineyard. He d. intestate May 13, 1728 at Tisbury. In back-to-back entries in the Diary of Rev. William Homes of Chilmark on Martha's Vineyard [NEHGR 50:162]:
• May 19, 1728. On Monday last being ye 13th instant Jacob Robinson of Newtown (West Tisbury) departed this life.
• June 2, 1728. I heard today that Isaac Robinson of Newtown departed this life last evening. He was a man of inoffensive conversation. There were 18 days between the death of the two brothers, viz. Jacob and Isaac Robinson.
Administration of Jacob Robinson's estate was granted by the Dukes County Probate Court to his eldest son Jacob on July 2, 1728 and the estate was settled Nov. 19, 1733. His widow Experience purportedly d. at Tisbury May 11, 1763, but the memorialist cannot confirm this by an extant record.
Jacob and Experience's son Isaac died unmarried and he is found in the Tisbury records as late as 1750. According to the 1925 Robinson Genealogy, dau. Mary married in 1704 her half cousin Jonathan Weeks of Falmouth, Mass, which is not possible. Banks in his 1924 Annals of Tisbury claims she married Joseph Mott, which cannot be factually confirmed.
Jacob and Experience's son Jacob m. 1) Apr. 20, 1724 at Tisbury, Mary Luce and 2) circa 1764 the widow Deborah (Wollen) Luce of Edgartown, Mass., the widow of Joseph Luce of Tisbury by whom she previously had nine children. The Jacob Robinson, Jr. family purportedly left Martha's Vineyard after 1770 to settle at South Hadley, Mass. Both Jacob and second wife Deborah are buried at the Old Village cemetery at Williamsburg, Mass.; Deborah in 1777 and Jacob in 1794.
