I am new to this board and I am hoping to determine the lineage of my ancestor
Robert Robbins (1758-1833).  After careful review of much evidence, I very
strongly believe that Robert Robbins was born in  New Jersey.  I also have
some indication that his father's name might have been Daniel.

Robert Robbins was born May 19, 1758.  In approximately 1787, Robert Robbins
married Ann Mersereau (1769-1846) of Staten Island, New York. Ann Mersereau
was born and raised in Staten Island, the daughter of Richard Mersereau
and Christian White.  The Mersereaus were an old Staten Island family;
however, Christian White was from Shrewsbury, Monmouth County, New Jersey.
The White family were Quakers.  After marriage, Robert spent the remainder
of his life in Staten Island where he was a wheelright and innkeeper.

Robert and Ann had the following children:

1)  Alice (Born 1788)

2) Richard Mersereau (1791)

3) Achsah (aka Ackshley, Acsah, asha) (1796)

4) Christian Ann (1801)

5) Daniel Mersereau (1804)

6) Robert (1807)

I would very much appreciate any suggestions as to Robert's parentage.
Thank you very much.

Regards,
Jonathan O'Donnell
