Daughter of unwed mother Eliza Newell and a man perhaps surnamed Howe.
Her birth and death dates, which are found in the Town Records of Sumner, Maine, as part of a "family record," compiled long after her actual birth, gives the 21 Jul 1831 birth date. This does not match the age at death as calculated and stated on her gravestone.
She married Leonard Spaulding Robinson about 1850. They had 4 children:
. Lester Eugene Robinson (1850 - 1940)
+ sp: Estella A. Field
. William Herbert Robinson (1853 - 1930)
+ sp: Minnie K. Cummings
. Emma Eliza Robinson (1855 - 1944) [twin]
+ sp: Albert D. Park
. Ella Sophia Robinson (1855 - 1941) [twin]
+ sp: Stephen Cobb Heald
In 1870, widowed, she lived in Sumner, Maine, with 4 children. In 1880 she lived in Sumner with her son Lester, farmer, and her married daughter Emma Park, a school teacher. Emma's husband was not counted in the home with them. They all lived next door to her other married daughter, Ella Heald, and her family.
In 1900 she and her son Lester lived alone on his farm in Sumner.
She died of influenza and heart disease, at the age of 69, 7 months, 18 days, per death record. [This age at death differs from that engraved on her stone.]
