"George Robinson lived in the western part of Watertown, Mass., as early as 1694, when he signed the petition requesting the construction of a new meeting house in that area of Watertown (Watertown Records, 8 vols. in 7 [Watertown, Mass., 1894-1939], hereafter Watertown Recs., Third Book of Proceedings:75). In 1702, George was said to be living on the border of the town of Dedham, and there was some disagreement among the selectmen about which town he actually belonged to (Watertown Recs. 2:Third Book of Proceedings: 1450. When George Robinson Sr. died in 1726, he was said to be of Weston (Weston VR p. 384).

In addition to his marriage in Watertown, the births of seven children of George Robinson are recorded:

Sarah ----, the first wife of George Robinson, died in Watertown on 5 May 1703 (Watertown Recs. 2:VR:22); and he married secondly in Watertown on 4 Aug. 1703, Sarah Behoney (Watertown Recs. 2:VR:17). She was born in Watertown on 12 Aug. 1688, the daughter of Peter and Sarah Behoney (Watertown Recs. 1:VR:62; Henry Bond, Genealogies of the Families and Descendants of the Early Settlers of Watertown, 2nd ed. [Boston] pp. 20, 412).
The births of two additional children were recorded in Watertown:

"On Oct. 3, 1657, George Robinson was married to Mary Bushnell, by Governor John Endecott. She was born in England in 1634, and was daughter of Francis Bushnell, a carpenter, who came to America in April, 1635, with his wife Martha and child Mary. He first settled in Boston, but soon removed to the Winthrop farm at Ten Hills. He was admitted freeman at Salem, and died March 28, 1636. The widow, Martha, returned to Boston, where on Feb. 3, 1638, she was admitted to the church by Mr. John Cotton, who on the 17th of the same month baptised Mary.
To George and Mary (Bushnell) Robinson were given three children, of record,
George, born March 30, 1658.
John, born 1661.
Martha, born March 31, 1665.
. . .
Mary Bushnell Robinson died before 1698, for on April 7th
of that year George Robinson and Sarah Maverick were mar-
ried by Mr. Cotton Mather. He appears not to have lived
many years after his second marriage, for we find the following
entry in the Boston Town records:
"Sarah Robinson, widd" , her Petition for license to Sell
Strong drink by retayle both within doors & without dissap-
proved by the Selectman July 17th, - and since by y'" approved
July 12th, 1702.".".3Boston Town and Church Records, City Document No. 130, Births and Baptisms. pp. 62-97.
