Robinson Surname

The surname Robinson is said to have arisen from the Teutonic personal name of great antiquity, "Robert," which was introduced into England about the time of the Conquest. Robinson signified "the son of Robin, or Robert, " and its variations include: Robinson, Robison, Robisson, and Robeson. "Before you could say Jack Robinson" is a phrase implying a very brief space of time. It is said to have originated from an ancient bearer of this surname who would call upon his neighbors and be gone before his name could be announced.

Our Robinson ancestors came from England and were members of the English Church, Parish of Eastham, Chesire, England. In the first Registers of 1598 to 1700 we find the name of Robinson spelled many ways.

Joseph or John Robinson, born about 1714, was the first ancestor found of Edward Robinson, our ancestor who came to America. He was a weaver

so we know he worked in the industry of cloth making. He married, on the 5th or 6th of Feb., 1769, Margaret Lewis who was christened June 28, 1748, Heswall, Cheshire, England.

Macy Brown Robionson - sense of humor

Macy had quite a sense of humor, and she would pull tricks on her sister Margery. One night Margery’s boyfriend came to get her. While he was in the house waiting for Margery, Macy and her friends took the horse and buggy and went for a ride. Margery and her boyfriend stayed home. Another time Margery and friends were having a special party and dinner. Macy and her friends went to the house of the party and wired all the doors shut so no one could get out of the house. Then they, Macy and friends, took a rooster which they had tied paper butterflies all over and threw it onto the table and really broke up the party.

A Sketch of the Life of Hyrum Charles and Macy Brown Robinson

by Stewart C. Robinson

Hyrum Charles Robinson was born Oct. 12, 1882 in Pinto Washington co., Utah to Richard Smith Robinson and Mary Ann Eccles Robinson, a polygamist family.

Richard and Mary Ann had been living in Pinto for many years, having been called to help colonize the Dixie country. In 1875, the Robinson’s were called to move to Sink Valley in Kane county, where they ran a dairy. We do not know for positive why Mary Ann went back to Pinto when Hyrum was born, unless it was because she wanted to be with her mother at the time the baby was born. Because the records show he was born at Pinto and also that the family was living at Sink Valley, very little is known about the growing up years of Hyrum. We have been told he had very little education, about fourth grade level. From there on, he was self-taught.
