Notes for Major William Beverley Robinson
There is a family of Beverley Robinsons of Toronto that lived in Virginia from 17th century and later some moved to Toronto and a John Beverley Robinson obtained a baronetcy in 1854. While it seems likely that Major William is a member of this family, there is no account of him in Burke’s 2003 volume. Burke’s 1885 peerage makes reference to the numerous descendants of earlier generations before the creation of the baronetcy.
