John Trumbull Robinson (April 25, 1871 – November 27, 1937) was an American attorney who served as the United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut under two presidents.[1]
John Trumbull Robinson, was born to Henry C. and Eliza Trumbull Robinson, on April 25, 1871, in Hartford, Connecticut. His father traced his ancestry from his father’, David Franklin Robinson, to Thomas Robinson who came to Guilford from England in 1667, and from his mother, Anne Seymour Robinson, to William Brewster (one of the Pilgrims who landed at Plymouth in 1620), Richard Treat (a patentee of the Connecticut charter), and to Governor John Webster. His mother descended from William Bradford. His father served as the mayor of Hartford Connecticut.[2][3][4]
He graduated from Hartford Public High School in 1889, from Yale University in 1893, and received his legal education by studying law in his father's office.[5][4][3]
