He was the youngest child of Conradt who was 42 and Maria who was 45. He fought in the French Indian Wars in Captain Klock's Company. July 24-28, 1763, he was called out for the Indian Alarm (Location: Burnet's Field, German Flats).  During the Revolutionary War he sided with the British and became known as 'The Tory'. This caused much friction between him and his family who were all revolutionary supporters. Under the leadership of Sir John Johnson (KRRNY), he made a raid into the Schoharie and Mohawk valleys. The KRRNY disbanded in 1783 in Montreal. He was forced to relocate to Canada after the war and became one of the original 516 UEL settlers of New Johnstown (founded by Sir J. Johnson), the first incorporated municipality of Upper Canada which eventually became Cornwall, Ontario. They arrived with minimal supplies, were provisioned for the first three years by the British then were left to fend for themselves. They faced years of hard work and possible starvation, near the the town of Osnabruck which was submerged when the St Lawrence Seaway went in in 1834. He married Marie Margaretha Haberman or Haherman and they had six children together. He then married Anna Rosa Kuss and they had three children together.  Some records show they actually had 6 children although she was well past childbearing age. Other records show he had a third wife. He died on July 8, 1814, in Osnabruck, Ontario, at the age of 70. 20 Apr 2018 Copied from: .com Robinson Family Tree Owned by: Helen Robinson
