The Robinson Family Crest

A MS. pedigree, constructed by the late Sir John Beverley Robinson, Bart., and Frederick Philipse Morris, Esq., derives the descent from a family settled at Crosthwaite, in the Parish of Ronaldkirk, in the county of York, in the sixteenth century. Beverley Robinson, the tenth son of John Robinson, for a few days President of Virginia, removed to New York, and married Susanna, second daughter and coheiress of Frederick Philipse. He was a zealous loyalist, and went to England in 1783, where he died. Many of his descendants remained there: others settled in New Brunswick. His eldest grandson, Beverley, returned to New York, and settled there. There are many branches of this large family in Virginia and Canada. There are several variations in the arms as given in the books. We give the traditional arms from the seal of Col. Beverley Robinson, which impales Philipse.
