| Order of children may not be correct. The name Andrew does not seem to have come down through subsequent generations. Richard and Susanna are the only two that can be linked to Andrew Robinson in the records. |

Notes on Andrew Robinson: 1. A Richard Robinson can be found in Indian Thickett on the list of early VA Pioneers in 1623/4. Richard Robinson could either be the father or brother of Andrew Robinson. 2. Ann Dunston Robinson may have died before 1659. The records say Andrew Robinson married Anne Shortland who was a widow. Married record is dtd 25 Sep 1659 Surry Co VA. The records are somewhat confusing and Anne Shortland could have been the dau of John and Ciecely Dunston and when Anne Shortland's husband died she then married Andrew Robinson. 3. Andrew Robinson transported 1635 to Henrico Co VA by Wm Carter and then in 1638 transported to James City Co VA by Wm Carter.

| The records seem to be silent on whether Cotton Robinson had children or not. The only reason Humphrey is added is because Humphrey Robinson married Eliz Branch dau of Wm Branch and Margaret Wheatley and there seems to be a connection between the Wheatley's and Cotton Robinson. It's possible Eliz Wheatley was a first wife. See below. | ||||
