BEGIN From: carolsgn [carolsgn@hotmail.com] Sent: Saturday, May 21, 2005 10:01 AM Privateering at Toms River & Vicinity from A History of Monmouth & Ocean Counties by Edwin Salter Another prize brought into Toms River was the schooner "Speedwell" which had been captured by the daring Capt. Adam Hyler. The "Speedwell" was nearly new and of about 22 tons burden. The sale of the vessel was advertised to take place at Freehold June 20, 1782 at the home of Capt. James Green by Robert Hude & John Bray, agents. This vessel had been captured by the British & recaptured by Capt. Hyler. Toms River had been burned about three months before this sale took place, and it is not probable that there were any homes in the village to accomodate persons who might desire to purchase the "Speedwell" and hence a reason for the sale at Freehold. Moses Robbins/Toms River p.201 In the early part of 1783, Capt. John Wanton, in the armed boat, "General Washington", capture the sloop, "Rebecca" and brought her into Toms River. She had been captured by the British brig "Renown", and retaken by Capt. Wanton. The following is a copy of the advertisement for her sale: "To be sold at public vendue, at 10 o'clock at the house of Moses Robbins, at head of Toms River, the sloop "Rebecca", with her cargo of 330 barrels of flour, a few barrels of pork, &c., lately captured by Capt. John Wanton. "David Potter, Marshal" From the above it seems Moses Robbins, who was wounded in the fight at the Block House, had a house then built suitable for business. p.230 Moses Robbins was a Matross in Capt. Huddy's company and was seriously wounded in the action at the Block House. He was one of the first to have a dwelling erected after the village (Toms River) was burned, and the sale of a captured prize was advertised to take place at his home in March 1783. In 1792 he purchased timber land back of Toms River, and Holmes & Robbins' Mill is mentioned the same year. In 1795 his heirs had a tract on the road from Toms River to Schenck's Mill, sold. from this it would seem probable that he died between 1792 and 1795. In the early part of the next century Elijah Robbins owned the land on which the Block House had been situated. A Matross was a member of the artillery company who assisted in loading canon, and also carried a musket. From: july37 [july37@cox.net] Sent: Saturday, May 21, 2005 6:25 PM Your posting gives some great information on Moses Robins. After reading it, I was curious as to how many Daniel Robins descendants served in the Continental Army. From Wm. S. Stryker's "Official Register of the Officers & Men of the NJ Rev. War." Isaac Robbins ? Co. Jesse Robbins Middlesex Co. John Robbins Gloucester Co. Joseph Robbins Middlesex Moses Robbins Monmouth Thomas Robbins Middlesex William Robbins Monmouth I haven't found any Continental soldiers in the line of Richard Robbins of Cumberland Co. John Taylor in his book, "Richard Robins, Loyalist" writes of Benjamin Robbins from Monmouth Co. who appears on the rooster of Capt Van Swearingen's Co. in 1777. He may be another one. Maybe there are others.
