Meribah Robbins: This sister of Thomas Saltar was married to Joseph Robbins. According to Thomas Saltar, their children were: Jacob Robbins, Thomas Robbins, John Robbins, Ezekial Robbins, Samuel Robbins, Priscilla Robbins, Sarah Robbins, Susannah Robbins, Rebecca Robbins, and Mary Robbins. Howard Deacon informed John Edwin Stillwell that, to this list of children, the name of Isaiah Robbins should be added. Deacon also verified the name of Mary Robbins. Joseph Robbins, Jr. was not the son - as sometimes has been supposed - of Joseph Robins (12 March 1670/71, Woodbridge, Middlesex County, New Jersey, British North America - 6 June 1709, Freehold or Crosswicks, Monmouth County, New Jersey, British North America) and Anna Peck (11 May 1663, Woodbridge, Middlesex County, New Jersey, British North America - ?) who were married 3 March 1691/92 in Woodbridge, Middlesex County, New Jersey, British North America. He, instead, may have been the son of Joseph Robins (born about 1697), the son of Moses Robins, and thus the grandson of Daniel Robins. Joseph Robins (born about 1697) was married to Sarah Clayton (Leah). The name of the wife of Joseph Robins, Jr., the son of Joseph Robins (born about 1697) is not known. It is sometimes said, but not proved, that Joseph Robins (born about 1697) was the son of Daniel Robins, Jr. END From: BRIAN ROBBINS [hilo80@yahoo.com] Sent: Saturday, January 28, 2006 9:48 AM BEGIN Here's some information I found a few years ago about Joseph Robbins(Jr): Information from; American Revolutionary Patriots and Soldiers of Ca C.A.R."S".
