George Gilpin Robinson
George Robinson, the second of Rowland and Rachel Robinson's children, was born at Rokeby in 1825. Educated mostly at home, George tried various lines of work before settling down to work the family farm. His father made several attempts to arrange for George to apprentice with a printer, and he worked for his brother-in-law in a short-lived business in Charleston, South Carolina, and taught school briefly in Saratoga, New York. Although he was a very popular young man—playing in a band with friends and attending dances—George never married. He lived his entire life at Rokeby and worked the farm with his brother Rowland.
