I have been researching my genealogy. Apparently there had been a complete tree done in the past, but it has since been lost. In it, a significant connection to the Seaman family was made. This may have been a Long Island or New Jersey branch. My research has reached an impasse at my 4th Great Grandfather. Does he sound familiar to anybody?
James Robinson (1744 or 1750-1825) Born in Middlesex County, New Jersey, or New York City. Buried in Edison , NJ in the Piscataway Burial Grounds. Now called St. James Episcopal Church Cemetery.
Married Catherine Provoost or Provost. Daughter of Jonathan Provoost and Adrianna Springsteen of NYC and NJ. This was a wealthy and influential family from NYC.
Children: Jonathan, James Peter Praa, Margaret, Sarah and Aletta.
They lived in NYC, Piscataway (NJ) and New Brunswick (NJ).
James may have been a builder or architect or the son of one, who built Trinity Church and Federal Hall in New York City.
He may have served in the Revolution.
ANYBODY??
