Born in St. Dunstans, Canterbury, Co.Kent, England. He was killed in a watermill accident in Dorcehester.MA.
It is suggested in early (1859) genealogies, that he may have married, first, Prudence _____. This possible wife's name is drawn from language in his will, saying "my daughter Prudence which beares my wifes name". No other specifics are given, and, if she existed, she may have died only a short time following marriage, but before his 1637 marriage to Margaret. But proof of this enigmatic first wife Prudence is not found, and she may be contrived from a misreading of William's will, which is, to say the least, quite ambiguous.
He married, second, on or about Oct 14,1637 at Canterbury,Kent, Margaret Beach.
He married, third, as her third husband, on Aug 21,1666, Ursula (Adams) Streeter Hosier.
Children(by second marriage): Samuel Robinson, Increase Robinson, Prudence Robinson Bridge, James Robinson, Ann Robinson, Mark Robinson, Timothy Robinson, William Robinson, and Waiting Robinson Penniman.
William first appears in America as belonging to the church in Dorchester 4 Nov 1639.He bought property from John Phillips of Boston for 150 pounds and an estate in Dorchester on the Naponsett River culminating to 75 acres.He became a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company Of Massachusetts in 1643. He owned and operated a corn water mill on Tidemill Creek where he met his death on 6 May 1668 as recorded in The Rev. John Eliot's Record of Church Members, Roxbury,Mass.He was accidentally drawn under the cogwheel of his mill.
William had a second wife, Ursula, who survived him but without issue. His will was recorded in the office of the Court of Probate in Boston, accepted and endorsed by his heirs 31 Jul 1668.It states, in part," And I give to my son Increase Robinson, after my wife's decease or marriage, four acres of my salt marsh... and all my land lying on the south of the highway." He goes on to say his son Samuell is to receive all of his property in Dorchester after his wife's death or marriage. Samuell is to pay his daughter, "Prudence Bridge of Roxbury", 20 pounds two years after his death and William's daughter Waiting Penniman of Braintry is to receive 20 pounds.
