Rix Robinson was born August 28, 1789, in Richmond, Massachusetts. His parents were Edward and Eunice (Rix) Robinson of Preston, Connecticut. His father was a blacksmith and farmer. Rix was considered a studious child and regularly attended school. At age 19 he began the study of Law in Auburn, New York, and was admitted to practice law in 1811.〔Michigan Historical Commission, 186〕
At the outbreak of the War of 1812, which his father strongly opposed, Rix headed west to avoid the draft, with one thousand dollars given to him by his father.〔Harrington, 29〕 He moved to the large outpost of Detroit in the Michigan Territory where United States Troops were garrisoned and there was a prospering fur trade.
Rix Robinson was the first white male to marry an Native American in Michigan. He married 8 Native Americans. He owned over 65% of Michigan. Rix Robinson named Newago, Custer, Kent County, and 6 other towns in Michigan.
