      Notes 
      • An entry in the Mass Transcript for May 23, 1923 states that Dorothy Robinson married by Governor Withrop, in Salem, on arrival from England to Edmond Fawlkner, Feb 1, 1647. first American citizen to be married. Will of EF speaks of stepson Joseph Robinson. He came with his mother, a child of about 4 years. Dorothy Robinson had to have come from Kings Linne, Norfolk, where there were Fawlkners. Will of Thomas Slayne of Kings Linne, Norfolk, gives, "To my youngest son, Samuel Slayne.... the pice of pasture ground in Torrington bought of Dorothy Robinson lately." Corresponding so closely to Dorothy's coming to America, this is interesting. According to the book, Pioneer of Mass. by Charles Henry Pope, Gen. Pub. County, 1981,
