Joseph Robinson was born Sept 4th 1831 in Islip, Northampton, England. He was the son of Samuel Robinson and Martha Baron. Joseph Robinson and Jemima Parkes were married November 26, 1853 . The following children blessed their home: Elizabeth Annie April 1, 1857 at Salt Lake, Salt lake, Utah Jemima Mary May 1 1859 at Payson,0, 1863 at Utah, Utah Joseph William October 24, 1860 at Payson, Utah, Utah Samuel John December 10 1863 at Payson, Utah, Utah Jeddie James September 27, 18654 at Payson, Utah, Utah Josephine Parkes, August 9 1868 at Payson, Utah, Utah Joseph Robinson and Jemima Parkes had joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in their native England, before they were married. Like so many other, The Robinsons had a strong desire to go to "Zion", so arrangements were made with the Perpetual Immigration Fund of their church, to finance their passage on the sailing ship "Windemere". They were to repay the borrowed money as quickly as they could so that it could be used by others for the same purpose. The Captain of the sailing vessel was an able seaman but always endeavored to secure "Mormon" passengers because he felt more safety and security with them on board, regardless of his prejudice. Steerage passengers were allowed very little luggage so the Robinsons took a small bundle of clothing and a feather bed. Steerage food was of very poor quality and the family wished that they had brought their own supply. The ship was delayed from sailing for a full week but they finally left the port at Liverpool on the 22nd of February 1854. All went well for a few days and then fire broke out on the ship. Excitement and panic prevailed until the calm interference of a Mormon Elder, Charles Evans, succeeded in quieting them by telling them to be quiet and calm and that everything would be alright. The fire was extinguished and order was restored. Repairs were made and they were able to continue on their way again. Near the middle of the ocean a terrific storm arose and it looked as though the ship would flounder. The lifeboats were lowered for the cabin passengers, but suddenly a mysterious calm came which lasted all night. After minor repairs were made the ship was able to continue the voyage. The captain's faith in "Mormon" protection grew stronger. After a ten week voyage, the ship landed in the harbor at New Orleans and the Saints disembarked. They then boarded a steamer and traveled up the mighty Mississippi River to Saint Louis, Missouri, and on a Bridgeport, Kansas, and then overland to Council Bluffs, Iowa. After a two week delay they, with a large group of immigrants, were able to begin the journey across the plains toward their "promised Land" or Utah. To cross the plains, Jemima had her fare paid, but to pay his fare, Joseph had to drive some cattle. Even though her fare was paid, Jemima walked most of the way across the plains to Salt Lake City where she arrived October 24 1854. Joseph had arrived a week earlier and was anxiously waiting for his wife. It was a happy reunion. This short story may be about his sister and her husband. He and Jemima are mentioned so I share it here: Courtship and Marriage of Abraham Done and Elizabeth Robinson Contributed By: davidlynnhadlock1 · 3 September 2014 · on familysearch.org This story came from the book "Our Heritage" complied by Thurber Payne in 1982 Elizabeth Annie (Lizzie) learned to read with help from her Mother. She also learned some "numbers" but her formal schooling did not come until she was fourteen years of age and went in the "Third Reader" . She attended school only four winters. Lizzie, being the oldest child, had to assume as much responsibility as possible. She helped with the housework and also with some of the work outside, such as drying apples or crushing them for cider, which was mostly made into vinegar, to be sold. She also helped when they were extracting the honey from the beehives. She learned to sew by hand before the family ow"cutting bees" at fruit drying time and "corn shelling bees" in the winter. There was always much laughter and singing at these parties. When their tasks were finished there would usually be honey or molasses candy and apples for all. Also cookies which were made from sour cream and honey. A friend, Antha Fillmore, lived next door to the Robinson home and was a very close friend to Elizabeth. One evening, when Antha's boyfriend called on her he Abraham Done with him and introduced him to Elizabeth. The two couples began to double date and soon a double wedding was planned. The date was set much sooner than the parents could complete the preparations, but the "double marriage" took place any way. They were married on June 22 1875. The new Mrs. Done stayed with her parents for a week after the wedding while preparations were being made for the you couple to live with Abraham's parents for a while. Abraham continued to work with his Father and brothers on the farm and at the saw mill. The families prospered and were able to accumulate quite a lot of property. Abraham managed the first Electric Light Plant that served the people of Payson. The family had purchased some stock in the company. Abraham went on a mission to the Southern States Mission and while there he contracted the Malaria fever. The disease really took it's toll and kept reoccurring so he was released from the mission to return home. He was not able to complete one year of the mission and his hair turned prematurely grey during this sickness. Soon after his returning home, the family moved into a new, large, two-story house. This home was considered one of the best in Payson. The lot, about half of a block, contained a lumber yard, corral, barn, shade and fruit trees and a large lawn. The last three children of the family were born in this home. The Done family, with their saw mills and other improvements, became quite well fixed, financially, and they could enjoy many of the material things for themselves, as well as helping others. Plural marriage was being practiced by the Church leaders and so " Abe" and "Lizzie" were anxious to follow the counsel of their leaders. They sold all of their property in Payson and decided to follow other families into Old Mexico. With them were enough families making the trip to need two passenger cars on the train, as well as some freight cars and cars for their cattle. The train went by way of Denver, Colorado, where it stopped to permit the cattle to rest and be watered, in the local stock yard. The train then went south to El Paso, Texas and on into Old Mexico.
