MigrationDescription
Capt. John4 Robinson (descended from Moses1 Robinson via Hans2 and Simeon3) married Abigail Parsons and went to Salt Lake City, becoming a Mormon convert. This is the ONLY explicit Mormon conversion reference in the entire 1933 Robinson Genealogy Vol. 2. The marriage connects two of the 13 colonial surnames (Robinson + Parsons) in a single Mormon migration event. Lineage: Moses1 Robinson (Ireland to Cushing ME 1727) > Hans2 Robinson (Captain in 4th Lincoln County Regiment, Committee of Correspondence 1775) > Simeon3 Robinson (m. Hannah Hyler) > Capt. John4 Robinson (m. Abigail Parsons > Salt Lake City Mormon convert). Source: Robinson Genealogy Society Vol. 2 1933 p. 138. EVIDENTIARY TIER: SOURCE-CITED.
