FIFTH GENERATION


30. Azel (or Aziel) Tennant ROBINSON was born in Mar 1807 in Glastonbury, Hartford Co., CT. [Based on death certificate information which indicated that he was then 79 years 6 months of age.] He died on 26 Sep 1886 in Bristol, Hartford Co., CT. [Death due to "Primary: degeneration of heart; Secondary: Exhaustion." Have copy of death certificate.] Listed in CT 1860 census as "mechanic," as does his death certificate. Various family members have differing first names for him. His daughter's death certificate appear to spell his name "Aziel;" Helen Holmes has his first name and middle initial as "Charles H.;" one family member copying his listing in the 1860 census gives his name as "Abel T." His death certificate gives his name as "Azel T;" place of death appears to be "Fall Mountain" Street, Bristol; residence at time of death appears to be "T. B. Robinson;" and age at death of 79 years, 6 months. His daughter Alice's DAR application gives his name as "Azel Tennant Robinson." The name Azel is also found in earlier generations of the Tennant family (e.g., his grandfather Caleb Tennant had a son by that name by his first wife). He was married to Harriet STRATTON.

31. Harriet STRATTON was born about 1808 in Whitestone, Queens, NY ?. [Her death certificate, as best can be deciphered from the poor handwriting, gives her place of birth as Whitestone, NY, but her daughter's death certificate indicates that she was born in CT. In the space for age of death in her death certificate both the numbers 78 and 73 are written. If she was 78 at her death in 1881, she would have been born about 1803.] She died on 8 May 1881 in Bristol, Hartford Co., CT. [Death due to "heart disease" of "short duration." Have copy of death certificate.] Children were:
