James Robinson, youngest s. of Thomas Robinson and Sarah Denison, b. of record at Roxbury, Mass. and entered as Mar. 15, 1689/90 in the original Roxbury Vital records. James d. at Hardwick, Mass. per his gravestone in March 1762, the day not inscribed. He was survived by wife Patience, who d. at Hardwick in Jan. 1768, the day of her death also not inscribed on their original common gravestone.
That James' birth year is inscribed as 1690 means the immediate surviving family was well informed of the meaning of double year dating for the months Jan., Feb. and Mar. in the old English (Julian) calendar. The single year 1689 inscribed on the modern cenotaph gravestone for their great grandson Joseph Robinson, Jr. is an error.
