Martha Robbins 1736-1809 d/o of Samuel & Margaret Page Robbins was the widow of John Steward, Jr at the time of the following event. "On the night of June 23,1778, when the British army on its way from Philadelphia across Jersey, was encamped all the way from Crosswicks to Ellisdale (then called Gibbstown), with its cadettes extending as far as Walnford; two of its officers came to the residence of Alexander Howard to inquire concerning the residence of some noted Whigs. Mr. Howard received them in his porch, in white flowing robes, was extremely polite but very ignorant as to the whereabouts of the individuals sought for, they thanked him for his courtesy and remarked that it was a gratifying to meet with a gentleman for they had just called at the house on the other side of the road (pointing to the homestead then occupied by Martha and her children), and had received from an old lady the greatest scolding they ever had in their lives." Martha would have been only 42 yrs old in 1778. Today,it's rare to find an American woman who is considered to be "an old lady" at 42. Sara END
