    In "A Biographical History of England from the Revolution to the end of King George I's Reign Vol. II," a person who knew the Bishop of London is quoted as to his appearance and character as follows, " a little brown man, of a grave and venerable countenance; very charitable, and good humoured; strictly religious himself, and who took that care he could to make others so. He was very careful in whatever he undertook. Divinity and policy had pretty much equally divided his time; and, as few, if any, had made a better progress in either of them, so he could not but be always an ornament, as well as and advantage to his country."

    Other Events:

    • Public Service: 1711, Virginia; Member of the House of Burgesses
    • Possessions: 23 Apr 1718, King William County, Virginia; 2200 acres on the south side of one of the Great Branches of Mattaponi River. This 2200 acre patent was named Cleasby and appears as such in the records. Cleasby is an obvious reference to the ancestral home of the Robinson family in England. The Mattaponi River begins as four streams in what is Spotsylvania County, Virginia today. Each of the four streams is named Mat, Ta, Po and Ni. On July 7, 1741 John's son, William Robinson, purchased 500 acres of land from the Cleasby patent which was described as being in the fork of the river in St. George's Parish, Spotsylvania County, Virginia - this later purchase references the Cleasby Patent by name and date.
    • Public Service: 1720, Virginia; Member of the Governor's Council of Virginia
    • Possessions: 2 Nov 1720, King William County, Virginia; 2000 acre land patent on the south side of the middle river and adjoining his own land (the Cleasby patent of 1718). The "middle river" must be a reference to one of the forks of the Mattaponi. This land was possibly on the other side of the river (south) of the earlier tract from 1718. This land was bounded by or touched the land of Capt. Thomas P_ and Larkin Chew.
    • Public Service: 20 Jun 1749, Virginia; President of the Council then acting Governor of Virginia
