I found this info in the "Robinson Scrolls"; LDS Fiche #6046709, Vol. 13.

Hester Robinson, daughter of David Robinson, son of Maj. Ebenezer Robinson.
There is no date of birth; date of death is Nov. 17, 1831 in Virgil, NY.
She 1st married a Murphy and had a son, Robinson Murphy. No dates for them.

She married 2nd to Eber Sweet. Children of Hester and Eber:

1. David Robinson Sweet, born 1815

2. Edmund Hunt Sweet - no info

3. Elizabeth (Betty) Sweet, b. Jan. 23, 1821; married George T. Frank.

4. Hannah Sweet born in Harford, NY (Cortland Co.) married 1st David
Douglas; 2nd Nathan Schultz, both of Virgil, NY.

5. Eber Sweet married Simmons.

6. Margaret (Peggy) Sweet no info.

7. Eli Sweet, born Oct. 9, 1831; married Aurilla Holdrid.


Hester's brother Luman B. Robinson, b. 1808, d. Aug. 30, 1861 m. Mary Sweet.

I have found that the Sweet women used a name they liked and that is
probably why Hester is known as Esther. This makes them very hard to trace.
