Owing to the imperfect state of the Falmouth public records,
it is not possible to fill all the blanks in the foregoing.
By the marriage of Isaac, above mentioned, with Hannah
Harpur, the grandson became identified with the society of
Friends, as his grandfather never had been, except to protect and
defend their liberties and their right of following the dictates of
conscience in spiritual concerns. Very few of the family how-
ever, in Falmouth, ever went farther in that direction than its
founder in that town, but to this day have continued their relations
to the old Congregational order of their ancestors.
It may not be difficult for those who are of the Robinson
lineage in this County and vicinity, from the foregoing data to
trace their line of descent from the great apostle of libeity of
thought and conscience, John Robinson of Leyden, and his
worthy though less distinguished son.
Mrs. Caroline H. Dall spent some time several years since in
investigation of the subject of Isaac Robinson, his persecution by
his intolerant contemporaries, his changes of residence, and his
descendants ; and to her investigations the writer of these notes,
who feels proud to trace descent from Isaac Robinson and his illustrious
father, wishes to express his obligations, for many of
the facts contained in this paper.
