THOMAS ROBINSON, Secs. 25 and 36; P. O. Platteville; born in April, 1816, in Yorkshire, England. He came to the United State and Grant Co. in 1841; with him were his father, M. W. Robinson, his brother, Joseph and wife, and his brother-in-law, William Hilton, a lad of 14 (see sketch of Joseph Robinson). In place of the log house of forty years ago, Mr. Robinson has a capacious brick farm house, with farm building to correspond. The original 40 acres has increased to 255. He married Ann Hilton, a native of Massingham, Lincolnshire, England. They have had nine children - Sarah, Jane, Mary, Thomas, George H., Charles W., James R., AMelia and John M. All were born on the Platteville farm except the eldest; she married James Huntington, and died at his home in Seymour, La Fayette Co., Wis. Mr. Robinson was with his brother, Joseph, and a few of his neighbors, among the founders of the local P. M. Church.
