| 452 | William "Bill" C. Mock II, age 72, passed away on Tuesday, June 11, 2019, while residing in Plant City, Florida. His passing was the result of a courageous fight against declining health. Bill was born on April 16, 1947 in Rumford, Maine, the son of the late William "Bill" C. Mock I and Adelaide (Dower) Mock. Bill graduated in 1966 from Mexico High School, Maine. Bill joined the United States Air Force on November 14, 1966, and served until November 13, 1970. His service was during the Vietnam War, and he was a proud Vietnam Veteran. During his service he was a Motion Picture Lab Tech/Developer/Photographer and he documented the Vietnam War. He was a life-long member of the American Legion. He is survived by his ex-wife and their four daughters and their families, his sister and her husband, nieces and nephews, and many cousins and amazing family friends. One of our fondest memories of our Dad was that his parents always referred to him as "Wild Bill from Penley Hill," from his time when he was a kid living in Mexico, Maine. He was famous for shooting out the street lights with his BB gun. My grandmother "Tiny" would chase him around in the house and he would run around several times before making his escape. We so loved him telling us about his childhood stories. He loved fishing and hunting, and the fish stories that came with it! He was not always forthcoming about his time in the war - which deeply affected him. His deepest love was for his family and spending time with family/friends at camp TIPABIBI in Oquossoc/Rangeley, Maine. A private family internment service will be held at the Veterans Cemetery in Randolph Center, Vermont.

| 454 | William Robinson appears first in Concord, Massachusetts, but soon after that in Newton, Massachusetts, as a signer of the secession petition, in 1678. He is also found of record in both Cambridge and Watertown. His will, made March 22, 1693, offered for probate June 26 of the same year, was disallowed because of informalities. All of his children, except Hannah, were then living. His wife's name was Elizabeth Cutter, and their children were: Elizabeth, born 27 May 1669 in Concord and married, December 20, 1693, Daniel Gregory (1672-1736) the original Scottish immigrant of the Gregory family of America, she died 2 Jan 1749 in Framingham; Hannah, born July 13, 1671, in Concord, died in Cambridge, October 5, 1672; William, born July 10, 1673 in Newton became the founder of Auburndale and married Elizabeth Upham (1678-1747) daughter Lt Phineas Upham (1635-78) and Ruth Wood (1635-93) on Mar 3 1741, he died Jan 28 1754 in Newton; Mercy, born August 7, 1676 in Watertown married Nathaniel Whitney (1675-1730) on 7 Nov 1695, she died 31 Dec 1740 in Watertown; David, born May 23, 1678 in Newton, died Dec 7, 1773 in Newton; Samuel, born April 20, 1680 in Cambridge went on to be the tavern owner in Cambridge Square from (1714-20) and married Sarah Manning (1681-1709) on Mar 23 1703 and had 3 children then married Elizabeth Brigham, he died Apr 24, 1724 in Westboro; Jonathan, born April 20, 1680 in Cambridge married Ruth Morse (1684-1759), daughter of Jonathan Morse and Abigail Shattuck, she died Feb 18 1754 in Lexington. From William Robinson came many prominent and leading families of this nation. The first settler of whom we know anything personal was his father William Robinson I, who made his home in a clearing of the forest extending along the winding river Charles, nearly one hundred years before the Revolution. It is probable that about 1678 he came to live in a house on the site of what was lately known as the "Martin Collier" house, still standing on Freeman Street (No. 79). He certainly owned other land in this region, which was later part of Thomas Greenwood's farm. The father, William Robinson I was one of the fifty-two signers of the petition "To the Honored Governor, Deputy Governor, together with the Honorable Magistrates now sitting in Boston" that Cambridge Village (now New- ton) should be made independent of Cambridge, or in THE PIONEER PERIOD 11 the words of the petition "that you will please grant to us our freedom from Cambridge, and that we may be a township of ourselves, without any more dependence upon Cambridge, which hath been a great charge and burthen to us." | ROBINSON, William Sr (I1894)
|
| 455 | William Robinson the pioneer, at the time of his death in 1693, did not own any land in Newton ; but his son, William Robinson II, the second of the name, about 1697 began to lay the foundation for a large farm by purchasing adjacent tracts from different owners, until in 1742, he had acquired about 200 acres, widely known as the "Robinson Farm." This farm covered a large part of the territory now called Auburndale, including substantially all the land between Lexington Street, Auburn Street, and the Charles River. Its boundaries, as shown in a still existing plan of 1754, are shown on the map. The original owner of the farm, William Robinson the second, born in 1673, was living on the Arrington (or Errington) farm, as early as 1730, and in that year, he bought the interest of Arrington's grandson. His house, the Robinson homestead, was doubtless on the site of the present "Ware" house, and there is a tradition that the cellar and cellar stairs are the same as those now in existence. This William Robinson, more than any other man, might be considered the founder of Auburndale. What were scattered tracts of land, he united into a substan- tial farm upon which he built one of the earliest home- steads, if not the very earliest. He was evidently a man of vigor and initiative, and was one of the selectmen of the town of Newton. He was a selectman in 1735 and on Christmas day, 1742, he made deeds to three of his sons, William, John, and Jeremiah, dividing the farm among them. These deeds were given to a third person to hold until after the death of the donor. He gave his house, barn, and 79 acres to his son, Jeremiah ; 52 acres to his son, William, and 55 acres to his son, John, the boundary lines being practically parallel with the old squadron lines. Jeremiah Robinson died a few days before his father, and, as he apparently never married, this son may have lived with his father in the Robinson homestead (on the site of the present "Ware" house, No. 2159 Common- wealth Ave.). Jeremiah's interest passed to his sisters under his father's will, and in 1773 the land was sold to Elisha Seaverns, who built the house now standing, about 1783. William, born July 10, 1673 in Newton became the founder of Auburndale and married Elizabeth Upham (1678-1747) daughter Lt Phineas Upham (1635-78) and Ruth Wood (1635-93) on Mar 3 1741, he died Jan 28 1754 in Newton | ROBINSON, William Jr (I1893)

| 456 | William Upham, or "Uncle Billy," was a general favorite, and being something of a musician he and his violin were one of the features of old time festivities. His death occurred in 1849 at the age of 73 years. His widow continued to live at the Lower Corner just below the Houlton road. A large front room in her house was for several years used as a school room in which Miss Beardsley and others taught, the children attending from all the country round, some came from as far down the road as Harry Dibblee's, others from as far out the Houlton road as Mr. Cunliffe's. The boys and girls that attended that school are now scattered far and wide, but all will recall the old Upham house and the big willows that then grew on the bank in front of it, the old steam boiler that lay by the road side, and other familiar landmarks. Mrs. Upham lived to the age of 85 years. | UPHAM, William (I1781)
