Pedigree
ChartsAncestors of Harriet Hanson Robinson
This man, whose name, ancestry, and wife are unknown (or not traced here), had at least two daughters. He, and his unnamed daughter, are known to us only by the will of Henry Barrow, his son-in-law, which named two nieces of Henry's wife.

Brandow's Omitted Chapters include references to two Presley men, father and son, who might be the father of Eliza and her unnamed sister:

William Sr:
shown with 3 acres in St. Philip's Parish, 16 Sep 1679;1
named in the burial record of his son Anthony at St. Philip's Parish, 11 Sep 1679.2
Present, 6 Jan 1679[/80] in a list of "gentlemen soldiers."3

William Jr:
shown with 2 acres in St. Philip's Parish, 16 Dec 1679.1
Present with his father, 6 Jan 1679[/80] in a list of "gentlemen soldiers."3

Chronologically, it seems more likely that William Jr., probably over 21 and owning land in 1680, would be the father of Eliza, born about 11 years later.4
