Subject:    [SPAM] [Robbinsfamilysouthjersey] NJ Civil War Orphans

Steve Russell posted an inquiry regarding Peter W. Robbins on June 5, 2005,
Message # 220. The Genealogical Magazine of NJ, May 2005 Vol. 80, has an
article "Civil War Orphans, 1865-1871" complied by Joseph R. Klett. It names
Daniel W. Robbins age 7 in 1865 as the s/o Priv. Peter W. Robbins, Co. G.,
11th Reg NJ Vol., & mother Hellen or Ellen. Peter W. Robbins was killed at
the Battle of Gettysburg on July 2, 1863. He enlisted June 16, 1862 & was a
resident of Hamilton Township, Mercer Co., NJ. Does anyone know the names of
Peter's parents, where he is buried or who cared for orphan Daniel W. Robbins?

Sara,

Could be Augustus Robbins.  1850 Census shows a Peter Robbins (age 16 &
occupation = mason) - father is Augustus also a mason.

Name Age
Henrietta Morton 22
Augustus Robbins 32
Chillian Robbins 8
Eliza Robbins 1
Lucy Robbins 30
Mary Robbins 9
Peter Robbins 16

Source Citation: Year: 1850; Census Place: Upper Freehold, Monmouth, New
Jersey; Roll: M432_457; Page: 350; Image: 198.

1860 Census shows Peter (age 28 & occupation = mason) with son Daniel age 2.

Peter Robbins 28
Ellen Robbins 19
Daniel Robbins 2
Source Citation: Year: 1860; Census Place: Hamilton, Mercer, New Jersey;
Roll: M653_697; Page: 520; Image: 275.

Ages don't line-up, but Census takers have made mistakes.

Tom

Tom,

Thanks for your help. It looks like you have found the parents of Peter
Robbins b. abt. 1835. This line goes back to 11-Aaron Robins.

Aaron & wife unknown
Ephraim, & Mercy Cox
Ephraim, Jr. & Mary Beck
Ephraim III & Lydia Ford
Augustus & Lucy Savage
Peter & Ellen
Daniel W.

Charles R. Hutchinson has this line as being stone masons & the census also
shows the continuing of this occupation.

                                                 Sara
