Contents 1 Life 2 Family and legacy 3 See also 4 References // Life Aubrey Robinson was born in Canterbury, New Zealand on October 17, 1853. His father was Charles Barrington Robinson and mother was Helen Sinclair. His grandmother, Elizabeth McHutchison (1800–1892), also spelled McHutcheson, was born in Glasgow, Scotland, married Francis Sinclair in 1824 and moved to New Zealand in 1840 with their six children. In 1846 her husband and eldest son died at sea.[1] With her remaining children and grandchildren, she left New Zealand heading for Canada. When they arrived in the Hawaiian Islands in September 1863, King Kamehameha IV suggested they stay and purchase some land. Although the King soon died, the family purchased the entire island of Niʻihau and the Makaweli estate on the island of Kauaʻi from King Kamehameha V for US$10,000 on January 23, 1864.[2] Robinson was educated at home and attended the Boston University School of Law and was admitted to the bar in eastern courts.[3] He spent a number of years traveling in Europe and Asia, and, on his return to Hawaii, managed the family estates after the death of his uncle Francis Sinclair with his cousin (also brother-in-law), Francis Gay, under the firm name of Gay & Robinson. Other partners were Elizabeth Sinclair, Jane Sinclair Gay and Helen Sinclair Robinson. Their island of Niʻihau was used exclusively by Gay & Robinson for grazing cattle, as was much of their Makaweli estate. Robinson raised pure-bred sheep and cattle, and imported strains of Merino sheep and shorthorn cattle from the United States, Australia and New Zealand.[4] Robinson developed the Makaweli sugar plantation on Kauaʻi, on which the Hawaiian Sugar Company leased about 6,000 acres (24 km2). Besides this land the firm of Gay & Robinson had a sugar plantation of more than 1,000 acres (4.0 km2) on the same estate. In 1884, Robinson imported purebred Arabian horses.[4] Robinson took an active interest in church and missionary work both in Hawaii and abroad.[4] Family and legacy Aubrey Robinson in 1901 His aunt Anne Sinclair married Kauaʻi sugar planter Valdemar Knudsen (1819–1898) in 1867.[5] Robinson married Alice Gay in 1885, daughter of Captain Thomas Gay and Jane (Sinclair) Gay. They had four sons: Sinclair Robinson (born May 1, 1886), Aylmer Francis Robinson (May 6, 1888–1968), Selwyn Aubrey Robinson (born August 14, 1892), and Lester Beauclerk Robinson (1901–October 1969) and one daughter, Eleanor.[4] Robinson died on his estate in 1936, and the estate passed to his son Aylmer and then Lester.[6] His descendants have kept the tradition of treating Niʻihau as private, earning it the name "Forbidden Island".[7] Niʻihau was owned by Lester's wife Helen Matthew Robinson (1910–2002)[8] and then as of 2008[update], her sons Bruce and Keith Robinson.[9]       Francis Sinclair   Elizabeth McHutchison (1800–1892)                                                                                           Charles B.
