     Isaac Robinson was baptized on 7 August 1642 in Barnstable, Massachusetts.1,3 He was the son of Isaac Robinson and Margaret Hanford.1 He drowned on 6 October 1668 at Saconessett, Barnstable County, Massachusetts, at age 26. A coroner's inquest was held and the jury returned the following verdict: "Wee, the jury of enquest appointed to view the corpse of Isaacke Robinson, junir; doe apprehend, according to view and testimony, that the meanes of his death was by goeing into the pond to fetch two geese; the pond being full of weedey grasse, which wee conceiue to be the instrumentall cause of his death, by being intangled therein."4,5
     
Additional Data
Isacke Robinson was mentioned in his granduncle Timothy Hatherly's will dated 20 December 1664 in Scituate, New Plymouth Colony.6

Plymouth Colony Magistrates fined Isaac Jr. for being too much in a hurry to become a father.7 It is often said that Isaac had a wife Anne, but there is no evidence. Anderson (Great Migration Begins) believes there may be some confusion with his younger halfbrother who assumed his name, and did have a wife named Anne.6
