Hello,
I'm looking for some help with the family of Catherine Robinson (1822-1907). My primary goal is to find out who her parents and grandparents were.
Catherine was born in Onondaga, NY, on 22 Feb 1822. Family lore has it that her father's name was Charles. She married David Lewis McHuron (1818-1904) in 1843/45, and they had migrated to Kenosha, Wisconsin by 1850. David's father Seth McHuron (1769-1840) had owned property in Lysander, Onondaga, NY, and his brother Lyman McHuron (1798-1884) was an early founder of the area who is named in various publications (newspapers, books, etc). The McHuron's came to NY from Massachusetts by way of Vermont.
Meanwhile, a woman named Olive Robinson was born in 1801 in Vermont. Many family historians online suggest that her parents were Absalom Robinson and Mary Polly Fuller (who is buried in Baldwinsville, NY). She married Malachi Cox, and they had a few children including George Robinson Cox (1829-1911) and Hosea Cox (1835-1915), before moving to Lysander, NY.
George and Hosea married two of Lyman McHuron's daughters, Amanda Charlotte McHuron (1832-1910) and Ruth Ann McHuron (1839-1862).
The Olive Robinson connection may just be a coincidence, but my hunch is that there's a family relationship between Olive and Catherine (e.g. Olive is her aunt). But again, my goal is to find out who Catherine's direct ancestors were. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
