Samuel   "Major"	born: (about 1734) in Scotland married: _?_ (before 1760) in Scotland children: Elizabeth, Mary, John, Walter, Samuel died: ( ) He and his wife died on the Atlantic passage to America. buried: at sea (?) census: note: Family tradition says that the orphaned children were taken in by different families once they reached America. Samuel was taken in by chief Neill McNeill and later married his daughter Mary. A passenger list for the Ulysses, dated August 1774 and bound from Greenock, Scotland, to Wilmington, North Carolina, includes the following family: McNEIL, Neil, 64, farmer, and wife SIMPSON, Isobel, 64, and children Daniel, 28, Hector, 24, Peter, 22, Neil, 18, William, 15, and Mary, 9, from Kintyre. No passenger list showing the Robison family has been discovered. The passage usually took about seven weeks to complete. nota bene: The story in Ruby Peytons's book about the arrival of Samuel was contained in a 1912 letter written by Susan Robison Williams. She would have been his great-granddaughter according to Ruby. The letter apparently received fairly wide distribution as Ruby received copies from four sources. Ruby also says she thinks the information was from memory rather than research. It opens with "About the close of the American Revolution, War of Independence, Chief Mcneil of Scotland moved to America. Soon after Major Robison, an officer in the British Army, and one of his most devoted friends prepared to join his chief." Perhaps the original author meant that Samuel Robison [had been] an officer in the British Army. Otherwise, its hard to imagine him traveling to America during the Revolutionary War. * Generation II *
