About John Robertson, of Henrico County
John Robertson (or Robinson) (c1660-1721), of Henrico County, Virginia.
Ancestry unknown. He is often said to be a son of Rev. William Robertson, an early immigrant to Jamestown. This is a claim widely made -- without proof -- by Robertson and Robinson families throughout the southern US.
He might have been a brother of Thomas Robinson (1668-1741), also of Henrico County. Descendants of the two men having matching yDNA and form a unique group in the Clan Donnachaidh DNA Project (Robertson R1b OGAP20 Group AA).
The first reasonably certain record of him is a court deposition made by his (father-in-law) Thomas East in 1681: "Thomas East age 40, deposeth that he hath seen a mare and colt belonging to John Robinson ..." (Henrico Co., VA, Record B1, 1677-1690, p. 162)
