Simeon Robinson, the fourth child of Peter Robinson, Sr. and second wife Experience Lumbert, b. Mar. 22, 1702/3 at Tisbury on Martha's Vineyard (Dukes County), Mass. The 1925 Robinson Genealogy says he died in June 1792, but no death entry appears in the Windham town records.

On Feb. 2, 1742/3 at Windham, Conn., Simeon m. Jerusha Kingsley, dau. of John Kingsley, Jr. and Elizabeth Bass, b. Sept. 17, 1723 at Windham. Simeon and Jerusha had nine children recorded at Windham:

• i. Ebenezer Robinson, b. Apr. 18, 1744; no further record.

• ii. Mary Robinson, b. Oct. 28, 1745; no further record.

• iii. Simeon Robinson, Jr., b. Feb. 25, 1746/7; no further certain record.

• iv. Eliphaz Robinson, b. May 19, 1750, d. Oct. 9, 1785 at Windham, Æ 36; m. Oct. 21, 1780 at Windham, Jemima Rogers. Four known children of the family.

• v. Anna Robinson, b. July 3, 1752, d. as an infant Oct. 25, 1754.

• vi. Jerusha Robinson, b. June 23, 1754; m. May 18, 1774 at Hampton, Conn., John Richardson. Eleven children recorded at Hampton.

• vii. Eliphalet Robinson, b. Mar. 23, 1756; no further record.

• viii. Anna Robinson, b. July 17, 1760; no further record.

• ix. Abiah Robinson, b. Dec. 20, 1762; no further record.

It is believed Simeon and his son Simeon Jr. (vs. Simeon, Jr. and possibly his son Simeon, 3rd) appear in the 1790 census of Windham, Conn. The family virtually disappears from the records, but may have resided at the borough of Willimantic at Windham, for which there is no separate vital records and is otherwise an abyss when tracing a family. In the 1800 census of Alburg and South Hero at Grand Isle County, VT (the northwestern point in Vermont on the Vermont side of the Canadian border) are enumerated numerous Robinson and Kingsley families including an Ebenezer and Simeon Robinson, the names of the two oldest sons of Simeon and Jerusha Robinson.
