I've been trying to guess the name of my "brick wall" Stephen Robins
father's name by the order of son's birth. If I am correct, my
Stephen's father's name would be John, since his first son was named
that. His second son was Adam, which was his wife's father's name.
Third was Stephen Junior, fourth was Mathias, fifth Daniel and Sixth
Andrew.

Second Mariage to Christine?
Matthias or Mathias Robins 1807

6th was Andrew Robins

Only daughter was Julia Ann Robins.

All were born Ontario Canada, with the possible exception of John.  Kind of
makes some sense huh?
