Daniel was the youngest son of Benjamin Robinson and Jerusha Bingham. He was a soldier of the Revolution, enlisted May 19th 1775 in Connecticut, and discharged June 12, 1783. He served as a Trumpeter in Captain Benjamin Tallmadge company of dragoons under Col. Elisha Sheldon. He was wounded in the Battle of Pound Ridge in Westchester County, New York, on 2 July 1779, led by British Lt. Col. Banastre Tarleton.
He married Thankful Sage, and moved from Connecticut to Plattsburgh, Clinton County, New York. In 1810 he built a log tavern or inn on the then new primitive toll road from Plattsburgh to Ellenburg, NY, known as the Military Turnpike. Of the couple, ten children (Sally, Ira, Polly, Daniel Jr., Ludiah, Thankful, Patty, Deborah, and Lydia), his son, Lewis S. Robinson (sometimes referred to as the Young Governor), would later build a stone tavern, nearby in 1823. President Monroe stopped at the tavern for lunch in 1817 on his way to visit Sackett's Harbor, NY.
Daniel died three months after his wife, Thankful passed away, in the winter of 1837-38. His son Lewis would continue to operate the stone Robinson Tavern until the 1840's. Many of Daniel and Thankful grandchildren are buried at the Rural Cemetery in West Chazy. This cemetery on the Turnpike fell victim to neglect and only about two dozen markers have survived.
