From Jane Fletcher Fiske's "Thomas Cooke of Rhode Island":
William (perhaps), b. ca. 1707; m., as a mariner, Ghertie Bennet, spinster, by N.J. License dated 21 Sept. 1743, both of Monmouth. Joseph Smith also signed the bond. Geertruy Bennit subscribed her name 23 Aug. 1731 as a member of the Freehold and Middletown Dutch Church (Church of the Navesinks). William Cook and Geertje Bennit, with license, were married 22 Sept. 1743 at Navesink (GMNJ 24:20; 31:18). (Is this the Charity Cook, widow, who went to Shelburne, Nova Scotia, from New Jersey in 1783? See Sabine's Loyalists..., II:452)

Buried along with his wife and children Josephine and Freemont in "the old Cemetery on the hill place in unmarked graves."
from Robison Families of Ohio:
In 1838 Joseph Robison was in Milton Township, Trumbull County, (now Mahoning County), Ohio. Edward Robison had married in 1838 Arminda Cole of Palmyra Township, Portage County, Ohio. Palmyra is five miles west of Milton. John Lewis lived in Palmyra. He had a 100 acre farm on the "Creek Road" the back of which farm came very close to the farm later owned by Edward Robison and his sons. The Lewis Farm was also near the farm of John Nolan, the Palmyra farm of Jacob W. Cole, and the Robison Church.
From Robison Families of Ohio:
Harriett Ann Robison appears to be the ninth child of Joseph and Elizabeth Robison. In the 1830 census of Green Township, Columbiana County, Ohio, it is she who is listed as a female 5-10 years of age. In the 1850 census she was listed as 32 years old, born in Ohio. For reasons set out below she wanted to be older. No doubt she was born in Ohio about 1823 which means the Robisons were in Ohio by that time and which means she was 15 years old in 1838.
On August 17, 1838, Harriett Ann Lewis filed an entry (claim) at Vincennes, Indiana for 40 acres of land in Clay County, Indiana. From an account in a "History fo Clay County" she had run off from Ohio with John Lewis, a married man. Another portion of the history tells that she and John were bound for Iowa but decided to settle in Clay County (Indiana). She was no more than 15 years old then, but passed herself off as older no doubt to protect John Lewis from charges of corruption of a minor.
As of this time (1997) we do not know how many descendants of Harriett Ann Robison are out there. No doubt there are some.
In 1838 Joseph Robison was in Milton Township, Trumbull County, (now Mahoning County), Ohio. Palmyra is five miles west of Milton. John Lewis lived in Palmyra. He had a 100 acre farm on the "Creek Road" the back of which farm came very close to the farm later owned by Edward Robison and his sons. The Lewis Farm was also near the farm of John Noland, the Palmyra farm of Jacob W. Cole, and the Robison Church.
The Lewis' did well in Indiana. John Lewis became a teacher. He was described as "an athlete, symmetrically proportioned, of fine physique, of culture and polish in advance of his time, and an instructor of rare abilities." In 1846 he was elected to the state legislature. They had four children.
The county history reports that John and Harriett Ann were married about 1849. There is no record as the Court records were burned in a courthouse fire. A marriage would legitimize the children so that they could inherit from their father. There were four children: Jane R. Lewis, Louisa Emeline Lewis, Josephine Lewis, and Freemond Lewis.
The 1850 census - Clay county, Indiana:
John Lewis 48 M Farmer PA
Harriett 33 F OH
Jane R. 9 F IN
Emeline 7 F IN
Josephine 4 F IN
In September of 1851 measles struck the family. On September 15th and 16th, John, Harriett Ann, Josephine, and Freemont all died. They were laid away in the "old cemetery on the Hill place in unmarked graves."
Edward Robison, (great-grandfather of John F. Gessner) and a brother of Harriett Ann, came from Palmyra, Ohio quickly - about 400-500 miles. He made arrangements; he took Jane R. and Emeline home with him; and by November of 1851 he had himself appointed as the guardian of the two girls. As bondman for his guardianship were Francis Lewis and Johnson M. Bigalow.
Francis B. Yocum and Joseph R. Kennedy were appointed Administrators of the Estates of John and Harriett Ann. The inventory of the estates shows more than average in personal possessions: four horses, eight cattle, sheep, tools, and good furniture. As usual there were claimants for expenses - coffin makers, lawyers, doctors, etc. The personal property was sold at auction and after paying debts and expenses, the six children of John Lewis each recieved $27.10 as their share; while the two daughters of Harriett Ann each got $75.00. Edward went back to Indiana to collect the share for his nieces, and he also was entrusted with the shares for Edward Lewis and Mary Bigalow.
The estate settlement did not include the real estate. The lands were rented to Andrew Carpenter. In 1854 Edward applied for Court approval to sell Emeline's real estate (Jane R. Lewis had died.) With court approval he sold the land to John Robison, his brother and brother of Harriett Ann. John and his wife, Mary, and their 10 children moved from Northeastern Ohio to Clay County, Indiana. So it came to pass that Harriett Ann's adventures became the reason there are hundreds of Robisons in Indiana and Kansas.
John Lewis was married to Polly and had 5 children in Palmyra, Ohio when he ran off with Harriett Ann Robison. She was about 16 years of age at the time although census show she stated her age as being older than she was. All marriage records of Clay county, Inidiana are missing due to a Courthouse fire, but county historians believe John and Harriett were married about 1849; their oldest daughter would have been about 8 years old in 1849. I do not know if he divorced Polly, if she died, or what.
John Lewis had a wife named Polly and five children in Palmyra. His five children were:
1. Louisa Lewis - married L.S. Corbett, lived in Palmyra - she was the mother of Ellen Corbett who married John Robison, the son of Edward Robison.
2. Emeline Lewis - married Thomas R. Jones and was living in 1853 in Adams County, Indiana.
3. Mary Lewis - married Johnson M. Bigalow and lived in Palmyra.
4. Edward Lewis - living in Benzie County, Michigan, in 1853.
5. Francis Lewis - Living in Palmyra - died @ 1853 unmarried.
John and Harriett Ann had four children:
1. Jane R. Lewis - listed as 9 years old in the 1850 census, indicating that she was born in 1841. She died in Palmyra, on April 14, 1852, and is buried with her grandfather, Joseph Lewis.
2. Louisa Emeline Lewis - usually called Emeline, listed as 7 years old in the 1850 census. She was the only one of the four children to survive.
3. Josephine Lewis - listed as 4 years old in the 1850 Census; died in the September 1851 illness.
4. Freemont Lewis was born in late 1850 or early 1851. He died in the September 1851 illness.
We know of Emeline in two other instances. In the 1860 census she appears living in the home of Edward and Arminda Robison in Alliance, Stark County, Ohio.
the listing was:
Emeline Lewis
16 years old, female, housemaid
born in Indiana - net worth of $1,500.00
attended school during the year.
In 1862 Emeline joined Edward who then lived in Palmyra in releasing John Robison's mortgage.
On October 4, 1864 Emeline, using her regular name, Louisa E. Lewis, married John F. Hawley. He was also known as Dr. Frank Hawley. John F. Hawley was the son of John and Rebecca Hawley of Palmyra, their home was half mile north of the Robison Church.
John F. Hawley was sick. He was a Civil War Veteran - 104 OVI-Co I. By working with an established physician he got enough experience to become Dr. Hawley. He died on August 1, 1870 and is buried in the Palmyra - West Cemetery with his mother. His step mother, Mary Hawley, is buried in the Robison Church Cemetery.
Louisa E. and John F. Hawley had a child, a son, Charles Price Hawley, born in 1869. Louisa lived in Atwater, Ohio. She applied for and received a widow's pension because of John's Civil War service.
In 1880 the census for Atwater, Portage County, Ohio shows a household consisting of Louisa E. Hawley, age 34, born Indiana, and Charlie P. Hawley, age 11, born Ohio.
Louisa and Charlie are not there in 1890. they are not in any records for Portage County. They are not buried there.
As of this time (1997) we do know know how many descendants of Harriett Ann Robison are out there. No doubt there are some.
