Sir Thomas Robinson, 1st Bt (1703-1777)

Sir William Robinson, 2nd Bt. (1704-1785)

Most Rev. Richard Robinson, 3rd Baronet then 1st Baron Rokeby (1708-1794)

Thomas married Lady Elizabeth Howard (1701-1739), daughter of Charles Howard, 3rd Earl of Carlisle (1669-1738) and Lady Anne de Vere Capell (d.1752) on 25th October 1728 at Belfrey's, York, Yorkshire, England. He married, secondly a Sarah Booth at Barbados, she did not return to England with him. He died on 3 March 1777 at Chelsea, London, England, without issue. His brothers were unmarried and died without issue. Without a Baronet’s augmentation or a cadency mark it is impossible to say which brother this belonged to without contemporary evidence.
