My 3rd-great grandfather was Samuel Robinson (b. 1763 Westchester, NY d. 1844 Mamaroneck, Westchester, NY)
But I am having trouble finding his parents.
I believe they were Quakers - his daughter is mentioned in:
"Descendants of John Irish : the immigrant, 1623-1963, and allied families"
as: "dau. of a Quaker family, Samuel & Elizabeth Robinson of Westchester County, New York and a direct descendant of John Robinson of Leyden, Holland."
So I ordered from the FHS what I think are the relevant Meeting Records
Society of Friends. Purchase Monthly Meeting (New York : Hicksite) Monthly meeting records, 1724-1931
Marriages 1724-1800 Family History Library United States & Canada Film 17293 Item 1

Men's monthly meetings 1793-1842 Family History Library United States & Canada Film 17290
Monthly meeting records, 1792-1793 Purchase Monthly Meeting (New York : Orthodox)
Minute book, 1792-1793 Family History Library United States & Canada Film 2027119 Item 10
(5 films total) ordered
After going through all these films (and almost going blind), I found not one single reference to this family.
Am I going about this wrong ? Any suggestions ?
Thanks!
