Individual:
Joseph Robinson, son of Joseph and Lucy (Ruggles) Robinson, and the father of Joseph Ruggles Robinson, was born in New Braintree, June 20, 1796. He resided at the homestead in Hardwick until 1837, when he removed to Barre. While residing in Hardwick he served as a selectman for the years 1827-28-30, and was colonel of a regiment of cavalry. He died July 10, 1877. On December 11, 1821, he married Ann Maria, daughter of Nathan Ruggles, of Hartford, Connecticut, granddaughter of Edward Ruggles, and a great-granddaughter of Rev. Timothy Ruggles, previously mentioned. She died December 14, 1822, leaving one child, Catherine Maria, born November 18, 1822. Catherine Maria Robinson married, June 23, 1850, in Charleston, South Carolina, James Gallier. She and her husband were passengers on the ill-fated steamship, "Evening Star," which foundered at sea October 3, 1866, while on a voyage from New York to New Orleans, and both perished. Joseph Robinson married for his second wife, February 2, 1826, Caroline C. Banister, daughter of Captain Seth Banister, of Brookfield. The children of this union are: Joseph Ruggles, of whom later; Seth Banister, born March 14, 1828; Lewis Howe, October 7, 1829; John Niles, March 29, 1833; Eliza A., May 7, 1840; and William A., January 18, 1847. Seth B. Robinson married Carrie M. Lee, of New York, June 12, 1860. Lewis H. Robinson died October 7, 1848. John N. Robinson married Elizabeth Brown, of Brimfield, May 17, 1859. William A. Robinson died August 27, 1848. (Genealogical and Personal Memoirs of Worcester County, p. 344)
Joseph the father was a farmer and resided on the homestead in Hardwick until about 1840, when he removed to Barre. He was a selectman 1827, 1828, and 1830, and colonel of a regiment of cavalry. He died 10 July 1877, aged 81; his wife Caroline Cutler Banister Robinson (born 6 Jan. 1806) died 11 July 1879. (Paige, p. 474.)
Obituary, written by Edwin Woods:
The sudden death of Col. Robinson removes from among us a venerable representative of a former generation, who has in his day filled a large space in the public, as a gentleman of energy and of varied capabilities, of genial disposition and generous impulses, who has in many ways secured such a measure of esteem as will make his memory precious to his many friends. He was born on the farm, where he lived in Hardwick 40 years, since which he has resided in this town.
In the New Braintree VRs (p. 43), under the heading "ROBINSON," it says, "chn. Joseph and Lucy [none rec.]." His birth is also not noted in the Hardwick VRs (p. 95) except as "Joseph Jr., Col., ____, 1796. G.R.2."
