Samuel Robinett probably came to America as a teen-aged boy with his father in 1682. He helped clear his father's land and at the death of his father, inherited part of the property. In 1701, the original tract of land of his father was resurveyed and found to contain 335 acres and Samuel paid the fee which was required for the extra land.

In 1705, Samuel Robinett and John Powell, husband of Mary Taylor's sister, made application for the 625 acres of land purchased by William Taylor but unlocated up until that time. This land was laid out in Sadsbury Township, chester county, Pa on 1 May 1707. Samuel held this land, and up until 1724 paid taxes thereon. He must have sold it at this time.

John Powell, in his will of 19 August 1727, bequested a new Testament to each of Samuel and Mary Robinett's children.

About 1715, Samuel disposed of his property in Upper Providence Township to Jacob Chandler. No record of the transaction can be found in the Chester County Court records. At about this time, Samuel joined the tide of emigration to the south-west, purchasing land in East Nottingham, Chester county, Pa. the first record of land purchased by Samuel is a Warrant, bearing date 16 May 1716, for land in Cecil county, Md for 350 acres on the west side of the East Branch of North-East River. When the Mason-Dixon line was surveyed in 1763-67, most of the Nottingham Lots of Pennsylvania were found to be within Maryland.

Samuel lived the remainder of his life on his plantation at East Nottingham township, Chester county, Pa. He sold 55 acres of his 500 acre plantation to Simon Acre in 1731. In 1742/3 he sold 100 acres to Zavhariah Butcher.

This Poem is dedicated to Fannie Rodenberg Toland, who recently became the bride of her former lover whom she had not met for over fifty years. Written by a friend and a member of the Austin Methodist Church, of which church Fannie Toland, now Mrs. F. Leebrick, was a member of over thirty years. -- George Dunlop.

I.
Half a century ago
two lovers strolling went
Hand in hand through country lanes
Each day with hope intent
Each day with hope intent.

No cloud awhile came thward their sky.
True bliss indeed was theirs
If only they could thus remain
Free from all earthly cares.

II.
The course of their true love was smooth
They dreamed as lovers dream,
And thus the god of Happiness
Seemed in their life supreme.
Seemed in their life supreme.

Twas way back in the 60s
In Indiana State
That Frank and Fannie sweethearts were
We know not just the date.

III.
Every day they met at the trysting place
Each day walked arm in arm.
Frank thought of Home and Happiness
With Fannie on a farm.
With Fannie on a farm.

But best laid plans gang aft aglee
As in the poets rhyme
And hearts in love united
Were parted for the time.

IV.
The parents of Frank's sweetheart
Objected to the match
And quickly their decision
To Frank came with dispatch.

As if from out a peaceful sky
A thunderbolt it came
And so these lovers parted
Though loving just the same.

V.
The years sped on their lives apart
Though each of them had married
The shaft of love from Cupid's bow
They both in heart still carried.

P'haps "Providence" was guiding them
through paths to them unknown.
Through years of separation
Through years past, that have flown.

VI.
Through all the years, hope as a start
was guidihg from above.
Nurturing the seed germ
The seed of perfect love.
The seed of perfect love.

And so there souls through diverse paths
tho' each sought not the other
Met once again. It was God's plan
That Frank be once more lover.

VII.
Their marriage now is over
Supremely happy, they
Will soon be onward speedihg
To Kansas - far away.
To Kansas - far away.

Quite soon they will be leaving
To their farm in Kansas State
Framk truly is rejoicing
That he has found his mate.
