| Notes |
- Immigrated to America with William Penn's colonists. Came with his wif e , Margaret Symm, and his two younger children, Samuel and Sarah.His tw o o lder children, Allen and Susanna, immigrated to Maryland at an earlie r da te than Allen, Sr. Allen and Margaret are both buried,perhaps on the ir pl antation in Upper Providence Township, or in the nearby Sandy Ban k Gravey ard (Friends', founded in 1690) on Providence Great Road, now i n the Boro ugh of Media, PA. Allen Robinett, the first of his surname t o settle in P A, and the first American ancestor of nearly all the presen t-day people b earing variants of his patronymic in the United States an d Canada. Willia m Robinette Smith: Allen Robinette bought 250 acres of l and from Wm. Pen n in 1681 (21-22Mar deeds of lease and release). Lande d in Philadelphia i n 1682 and settled in Upper Providence Township. Ches ter (now Delaware) C ounty at the site of present day Media, PA. He die d in 1694, according t o a will, left four children. Three common spellin gs: Robinett, Robinett e and Robnett have been found. One branch of the f amily said the e was ad ded to make the name look French.
Allen was married on 29 September 1653 to Margaret Symm at the churc h o f St. Mary Aldermanbury in London, England. Allen
and his family came to America in 1682 to the Pennsylvania Colony of Wil l iam Penn. Margaret preceded
her husband in death, and both are buried either on their plantation o r i n the nearby Sandy Bank
(Quaker/Friends) Cemetery founded in 1690 on Providence Great Road whi c h is now in the Borough of
Media in Pennsylvania. Allen is neither the first nor the only Robinet t t o migrate to America in the 17th
century. There are records of three Robinett’s in the Jamestown Colon y o f Virginia and two in Maryland.
However, Allen is the only one who left known descendants in the America ’ s. Mr. James M. Robinett, a
former historian for the Robinett Family Association of America suppli e d this information. His uncle,
Allin Paul Robinett, the subject of the special dedication above, bega n c ompiling data on Allen and
Margaret (Symm) Robinett in 1894. Allin’s work forms the basis of the Ro b inett Family Association. We
are deeply grateful and indebted to Allin and James ‘Jim’ for their ma n y years of research on the
Robinett/Robinette/Robnett family.
