On February 21, 1763, 3-Daniel died leaving a second wife Frances, a widow. A short time later, on April 1, 1763, his 1748 Monmouth County sale deed carries a note confirming that the 1748 sale took place. It appears that his estate questioned the sale. "Newspaper Extracts in the Colonial New Jersey Historical Series", Vol. V, pg. 326/7, on February 14, 1764, lists his tavern "at the foot of Robins Hill" to be sold and states he was the son of Daniel & Mary (Parker) Robins." Robins, Robbins of New Jersey", pg. 8. It is quite possible that the Daniel Robins who migrated to Bucks Co., PA 1727 to 1731 was not Daniel Robins, Jr. The key to this question is the certificate that Daniel Robins requested for himself & his wife from the Chesterfield Monthly Meeting. Did it name his wife as Mary? If if did this is an indication it was Daniel Robins, Jr but if it didn't give his wife's name, it's speculative as to what Daniel Robins moved to Bucks Co., PA. I haven't looked at an original copy, has anyone else? "Genealogical & Personal Memorial of Mercer Co., NJ" by F. B. Lee Vol. I pg. 339. records this Daniel to Bucks Co., as Daniel Robins, Jr. As most Robbins researchers already know, not all the information for the Robbins Family as recorded by Frances Bazley Lee is correct. Date: Fri Jul 24, 2009 7:21 pm ((PDT)) This is in response to my last posting after reading it. I decided to check the reference because I didn't recall the newspaper article said that Daniel Robins with the tavern at Robins Hill in Hunterdon Co was the son of Daniel & Mary Parker Robins. This is an incorrect statement & isn't part of the newspaper article. I believe pg. 8 of the "Robins, Robbins of NJ" should read, "he is assumed to have been the son of Daniel & Mary Parker Robins". The following is the exact quote from the Newspaper: "Trenton, February 14, 1764." "To be sold at publick Vendue, to the highest Bidder, on Saturday, the 14th Day of April next, on the Premises, between the Hours of 12 and 5 o'Clock, The noted Tavern house, and 60 Acres of Land, besides Allowance, situated at the Foot of Robin's Hill, in Amwell: there is a bearing Orchard. Barn and other necessary Buildings, the Mansion-house large, and almost new, and well situated either for a Tavern or Store, late the Property of Daniel Robins, deceased; seized and taken in Execution at the Suit of James Benezet, Townsend White, Jeremiah Warder, Henry Remsen, jun, Robert Gilbert Livingston, and Buckridge Sims, and to be sold by me." "Samuel Tucker, Sheriff" The widow of above Daniel Robins was by Sept. 14, 1764 Frances Robins Pierce. There has been a lot of confusion over the identity of Daniel Robins & Frances his widow. Charles Robbins Hutchinson wrote the above Daniel Robins was 2-Daniel & Frances Robins, the administrator of Daniel's estate was his son. The original documentation shows this to be incorrect. Document on Feb. 21, 1763 refers to Frances as the widow of Daniel Robins. "On Sept 14, 1764. Personally appeared before Joseph Reed Surogate, Frances Pierce late Frances Robins, adm'r of Daniel Robins deces, & being one of the People called Quakers".

NJ written Jan 19, 1756 & proved May 17 1756, he left a legacy to his mother Mary to be paid to her for as long as she lived. We don't have an exact death date for Daniel Robins, Jr. as he died intestate. We know he was living when the newspaper article was published on July 30, 1733 so we conclude Daniel Robins Jr. died after this date in 1733 & the date of Job Robins' will in 1756. There is very good documentation for Daniel Robins Jr. & his wives, Mary Parker mother of Daniel Robins III & Mary (maiden name unknown) who was the mother of his other 12 children. Daniel Robins III & wife Elizabeth who we believe was his first wife sold land together in Monmouth Co., in 1748. John Taylor discovered the document among his many deed searches. It appears Daniel Robins III moved to Amwell, Hunterdon Co. between 1748 & 1763 where he owned a tavern at the time of his death. The "2-Daniel Robins Profile" on page 7 of the "Robins, Robbins of NJ" goes into the details of the selling of property from Daniel Robins, Sr. to Daniel Robins, Jr., to Daniel Robins III etc. etc. I'm sure you will recall the discussions you had with John Taylor & me on this topic & your input on the 2-Daniel Profile when you look at page 7. A series of email exchanges ... BEGIN Posted by: "Sara" july37@cox.net turkeypt2 Date: Tue Apr 17, 2012 8:29 am ((PDT)) I thought the group may be interested in an inquiry that came to me from from Angela Pierce Groenhout regarding Frances ? Robins 2nd wife of Daniel Robins III. Frances remarried John Pearce/Pierce between Feb 12, 1763 & Sept. 14, 1764 when her deposition as adm'r of Daniel's estate reads "Frances Pearce late Frances Robins." The following is a quote from Angela's inquiry: "My ancestor Daniel Pearce, b.1748- died after 1830) I believe he was born closer to 1748 as the 1830 McMinn Co., TN census places him in his 80's. We know through at least two documents that he was born in New Jersey. I have followed the paper trail back to Berkeley Springs, WV (which was VA in the 1700's time period) There were other Pearces in the area, specifically the group that migrated into W. PA and were part of the "Jersey Settlement" circa the late 1760's. Our Daniel and some of the other Pearces of this time had sons that married 4 sisters of a Barlett family (Nicholas Barlett). Here is the rub--our Pearce/Pierce DNA does not match any other families of the Southern or Northern lines, but,we do match the Robins' DNA 100%. We have at least 9 family members who have tested and they all match the Robins line. I suspect our Daniel Pearce was the son of Daniel and Frances Robins and migrated with the NJ immigrants into W.Pa/N.VA and assumed the name Pearce around this time. If he was a young man surrounded by Pearce relatives via the marriage of his mother it makes sense that he would do this. I don't know if there were formal, legal adoptions during these years. I assume that by marriage he would call John Pearce his father. These families continued to migrate together down the Shenandoah into eastern TN and W. North Carolina" I find Angela's Pearce/Robins connection very interesting & quite plausible. If the 1748 birthdate of Daniel Robins aka Pearce is accurate, we know Daniel Robins III's first wife Elizabeth was living in 1748 from the deed where Daniel & his wife Elizabeth sell land. Possibly Elizabeth was Daniel's mother & not Frances but it's not easy to determine with an approximate birthdate. It appears this discovery opens up a possibilty for additional unknown children of Daniel Robins III, maybe females.

After looking at your info on ancestry I am left wondering if Daniel III's first wife, Elizabeth, could have died in childbirth with Daniel's birth. The year is perfect (1748). Is there a record of her death date, or is this a guess? This may be more of a clue as to Daniel taking the Pearce name. He would definitely be closer to the Pearce family than to the Robins after they moved to PA. Also, just a minor detail, you have Daniel's death year as 1757, when it would be more accurate to have after 1830. We do not have an exact date. He last appears in the 1830 McMinn Co., TN census in his 80s. I am still working diligently trying to find additional support for my theories. I have found a concrete proof that this John "Peirce" must be one in the same as the one that prepared a will in Augusta Co., VA, 1776; proved Sept. 1778. Here are some family proofs that support the DNA for Daniel: Andrew Pearce, son of John, is referenced here, showing his residency in Amwell before removing to Washington Co., PA/Augusta Co., VA: Farmer & Doctor "On the 13th of October, 1810, Andrew Pierce bought of Wickerham lot No. 140, on Ferry Street, which was sold by the heirs of Andrew Pierce to Elizabeth Pierce, May 5, 1811.

Andrew Pearce, Jr., Rachel's father, was a son of John Pearce; his older cousin, also named Andrew, was a son of James and Sarah Pearce. Both John and James had died in 1778, and the will of each had been probated in the Augusta County, Virginia, Court. That of John Pearce was dated March 19, 1776, and was proved in September 1778; his wife had died earlier. Besides his son Andrew, called junior to distinguish him from his older cousin, John Pearce left sons named Isaac, Elisha, Joseph, John, and Jonathan, with daughters named Mary Smith and Sarah Watkins; also a grandson named Daniel, son of his deceased son of the same name. (See "Abstracts of Old Virginia Wills,"in Records of West Augusta, Ohio County, and Yohogania County, Virginia [Columbus, OH: Ohio State University Printing Dept., 1970] pp.326-327.) The elder Andrew Pearce, son of James Pearce, was mentioned frequently in the surviving records kept by Virginia for the Forks of the Yough while Virginia and Pennsylvania contested the area. Some of these records may have pertained to the younger Andrew Pearce, son of John, but where the latter's name was actually recorded as "Andrew Pearce, Jun."we can be sure that the reference was to the Andrew who became Benjamin Sparks's father-in-law. NOTE: I do not know if the Daniel, son of Daniel, is MY Daniel, or he had another son with the same name; OR, there was a mistake in the recording of the will, showing MY Daniel, son of Daniel, as a grandson, when it should not have been stated as such. ???

What an interesting senario with the Pearce/Robins DNA. I hope this outline may add a little to your research, some I'm sure you already know. 1. Daniel Robins Jr. 1666-1735 had two wives,1st Mary Parker who was the mother of Daniel Robins III & died the same day Daniel III was born. This is recorded in the Woodbridge Vital records. Daniel, Jr's 2nd wife was Mary whose surname is unknown. Daniel & Mary ? Robins had 12 children together. 2. Daniel Robins, III was married 1st to a woman named Elizabeth whose surname is unknown. Daniel & Elizabeth deeded land & she is mentioned as Elizabeth his wife. They had a daughter Elizabeth but no other children have been discovered. Elizabeth's death date is unknown. 3. Daniel III married 2nd Frances whose surname is also unknown. I have an estimated marriage date of 1758 for Daniel & Frances but it may have been much earlier. Daniel, III died in 1763 without a will & Frances was the adminstratrix & no children named. In 1763 or by 1764 Frances was married to John Pierce/Pearce as shown in the deposition by Frances. 4. Daniel Pierce born 1748 would have been 16 yrs old in 1764 so he was a minor at the time of Daniel's death. Also born long before the marriage of John Pierce & Frances ? Robins. 5. I agree that it's quite plausible Daniel Pierce took the name Pierce after his father's death & his removal from NJ to VA with his step-father & mother. I don't know of any document to support an adoption for Daniel. However, the DNA & the paper trail to his mother Frances Robins Pierce should be adequate. I really doubt that a formal adoption would have ocurred especially at age 16. Questions for you. Do you know if John Pierce had a will? Any indication that Daniel Pierce had an inheritance from John Pierce? Did John & Frances have any children together? I'm going to send you an invitation to my ancestry tree Robbins & Lore & if you are interested you can accept. It may make it easier for you to see my Daniel Robins postings.

I have been researching the Robins' line for the last year or so. You appear to be the authority on the NJ line of Robins, including Daniel, whose wife, "Frances," is listed as administratrix, along with her second husband, John Peirce in 1763. (I see you have Daniel being married to two "Mary's" - would Frances be "Mary Frances?" Or, are we looking at a different generation for Daniel Robins?

There were other Pearces in the area, specifically the group that migrated into W. PA and were part of the "Jersey Settlement" circa the late 1760s. Our Daniel and some of the other Pearces of this time had sons that married 4 sisters of a Bartlett family (Nicholas Bartlett). Here is the rub - our Pearce/Pierce DNA does not match any other families of the Southern or Northern lines, but, we do match the Robins' DNA 100%. We have at least 9 family members who have tested and they all match the Robins line.

I assume that by marriage he would begin to call John Pearce his father. These families continued to migrate together down the Shenandoah into Eastern TN and W. North Carolina. I am writing to you to ask if you have any additional documentation that would support my proposal. I have researched and documented many land records, which place the Pearce and Robins families as living in near proximity in New Jersey and later after they migrated southwest.

I've seen information indicating John Pearce died in 1778 in Augusta County, Virginia. I think this is a different John Pearce. This John Pearce was married 1st to Elizabeth Brower, then 2nd to Anna Alexander. In his Will written 19 March 1776, he states, “grandson Daniel Pearce, son of my son Daniel Pearce”. The Will was Probated Sept. 1778. This John Pearce owned land in Greenwich Twp, Warren County, NJ. He deeded some or all of it to his sons John and Andrew. This land was later sold to John Sharps, who was a large land owner. When the lands were sold to John Sharps, John was of Virginia and Andrew of Allegheny County, PA. The Augusta County referred to was not a County, but rather the District of West Augusta. It included the counties of Yohogania and Monongalia. John Pearce is mentioned in these counties. The part of these counties that were in the present state of Pennsylvania became Washington, Allegheny, Fayette Counties, and others, counties where Robbins lived.

However, research done by Tracey Marcelo a member of this group indicates that Daniel Robins husband of Frances & owner of Robins Tavern wasn’t Daniel Robins, III but Daniel Robins son of Job Robins. From review of all the available records for Daniel son of Job, I believe Tracey’s research to be correct. Frances Robins was living when her husband Daniel died in 1763 didn’t have a Will. Frances Robins married John Pierce as her second husband. You probably read where it is recorded on 9-14-1764 An account was given by John Pierce & wife Frances, late Frances Robins. Late doesn’t mean she was deceased only that her name was Frances Robins prior to her marriage to John Pierce. Posted by: "Tracey Marcelo" tracey.marcelo@gmail.com marcelofamilytx Date: Tue Sep 5, 2017 9:22 pm ((PDT)) That is correct. The Daniel who died in 1763 in Hunterdon Co. is the son of Job. The most recent discussion about it was in this thread: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/robbinsfamilysociety/conversations/topics/1476 It's kind of a lot to slog through. You can probably come up to speed pretty quickly by referring to "The Two Taverns at Robins Hill" (a 4-part article by Marfy Goodspeed, starting at: http://goodspeedhistories.com/the-two-taverns-at-robins-hill/ But also, the Quaker records for Kingwood that Ancestry recently posted in their collection titled U.S., Quaker Meeting Records, 1681-1935 are VERY telling. See: http://search.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=2189 They show that the ONLY Robins who were admitted to the Society at Kingwood were Job Robins, his wife, and their children. The admittance record does not name Job's children. But from his will we know they were: Daniel, Rachel, Amie, Andrew, Mary, Elizabeth and Lydia, all under age in January 1756. Here is a transcription of the two Kingwood records that talk about the family's admittance: p. 63,  Minutes, 1744-1858 8th day 1st month 1756 Job Robins requested that he and his wife and children may be taken under the care and notices of this monthly meeting as members of our Religious Society. Jacob Large & Jacob Birdshal are desired to enquire concerning their conduct in Life and Conversation and make report according as they shall find to our next Monthly meeting. p. 65, Minutes 1744-1858 12th day, 2nd month, 1756 Those friends who were appointed to Enquire concerning Job Robins and his wife and Childrens conducts report that upon Enquiry they find nothing to obstruct their being joined as members with us of our Religious Society wherefore we receive them as such under the care and Notice of this Monthly meeting. (Note: Job wrote his will 19 Jan 1756; the inventory was taken 2 Apr 1756; the will was proved 17 May 1756.) The Daniel who was a member at Kingwood was later removed from the Society due to drinking, cursing, and horse racing. Several of Job's other children (Andrew, Elizabeth, Lidia, and Rachel, whose married name was Chidister) and even his widow Abigail were also removed from Kingwood, for marrying outside the Society. I have only transcribed the records pertaining to Abigail (Job's widow) and Daniel. The records of Daniel certainly could explain how he died at presumably such a young age. If he was younger than 21 in 1756, he must have been only in his late 20s in 1763. Records for Abigail Hunt (formerly widow of Job Robbins): p. 34, Women’s minutes 11th day 8th month 1757 Abigail Hunt, late widow of Job Robins, Having Since the Death of her former husband proceeded in marriage with Thomas Hunt  who in respect of religion is of a different opinion from us contrary to the Rules of Discipline Established among Friends, and she having been tenderly dealt with to bring her to a sense of her outgoings and misconduct therein but she refuseth to make any satisfaction to Friends but says she rather chuseth [chooseth] to be testified against and to be publicly declared to be no member of our religious society wherefore this meeting with the concurrence of the Brethern declares her to be out of Unity and no member of our Religious Society until she give Friends of this Meeting Satisfaction for the same and by a Circumspect conduct in her Life and consideration she shall render herself worth of the receipt of the Friends into Unity and Fellowship with them again and we desire the Clerk to get a Testification drawn according to this Minute read to be sign’d at our next Monthly Meeting p. 83, Minutes, 1744-1858 8th day of the 12th month 1757 At the request of friends of the Women’s Meeting, John Simcock is desired to read the Testification against Abigail Hunt before our next Monthly meeting at the breaking up of Some first days meeting at Kingwood. Records for Daniel Robins: p. 87 Minutes, 1744-1858 10th day of the 7th month 1758 At this Meeting Daniel Robins brought a Paper whereby he condemn’d under his hand his proceeding in marriage contrary to the Rules of Discipline which was read & received as Satisfaction. p. 121, Minutes 1744-1858 12th day of the 11th month of 1761 The representatives being call’d all appear’d. Kingswood representatives report that Daniel Robins is found Guilty of Drinking Spiritious Liquors to Excess several pints and also it is reported that is apt to swear, and horse racing, and Overseers have treated with him on that account and he yet Neglects to give Satisfaction to this Meeting therefore this Meeting appoints James Willson and Jacob Large to Treat further with him on that account and make report to our next Monthly meeting. p. 122, Minutes 1744-1858 10th day of the 12th month of 1761 One of the Friends who were appointed at last Meeting to Treat with Daniel Robins Reports that they have done that Service and found him Sensible of his Misconduct but desires he may be indulg’d with longer time of consideration and this complies with his request in that behalf till next monthly meeting. p. 122, Minutes 1744-1858 11th day of the 1st month of 1762 The Case of Daniel Robins is defer’d to be further consider’d at our next Monthly Meeting. p. 123, Minutes 1744-1858 11th day of the 2nd month of 1762 The Case of Daniel Robins coming under consideration.  It is the Judgement of this Meeting that a Testimony ought to go against him and his Scandalous Practises, wherefore James Willson and Samuel Kesster are appointed to prepare an Essay of Testimony against him and produce the same at our next Monthly Meeting. p. 123-124, Minutes 1744-1858 11th day of the 3rd month of 1762 At this Meeting James Willson and Samuel Kesster produced an Essay of Testimony against Daniel Robins which was read and approved of and signed Jacob Birdsall is appointed to read the same to him and give him a copy of it if he desire it and also to let him know that he hath the right of an Appeal provided that he notifie [notify] the same within the time limited by the Discipline. p. 126, Minutes 1744-1858 8th day of the 7th month of 1762 Samuel Kesster is appointed to read the Testimony Issued against Daniel Robins at the breaking up of a First day’s Meeting and make report to our next Monthly Meeting. p. 127, Minutes 1744-1858 12th day of the 8th month of 1762 The Friend who was appointed to read the Testimony against Daniel Robins reports that he has perform’d that Service. (Note: This record seems to be 12 August 1762 and about 6 months later, by 21 February 1763, Daniel was dead, as we know from his probate records.)

From the Women's Minutes: pg. 34: At our Monthly Meeting of Women Friends held at Kingwood the 14th Day of the 7th Month 1757. Abigail Hunt late widow of Job Robins having since the Death of her husband proceeded in marriage with Thomas Hunt who in respect of Religion is of a different opinion from us, contrary to the rules of Discipline Established among Friends. pg. 53: At our Women's Montly Meeting held at Kingwood the 10th Day of the 3'd Month 1763 Martha Willson one of the Overseers reports that she hath been to Elizabeth Robins and has Dealt with her concerning her being Guilty of Fornication and she refuseth to Condemn her Lewd Conduct to the Satisfaction of Friends, wherefore this Meeting appoints Rachel Kessler & Mary Large to Draw a Jestification against her ready to be signed at our next Monthly Meeting. pg. 74: Kingwood Meeting held Hartwick 11th Day of the 10th Mo. 1770 Lidia Robbins, Sarah Lunday, and Susannh Parker having offer'd papers for acknowledgement for their misconduct they are left for further consideration. pg. 90: At our Mo.

Note: 1) I believe Daniel, Andrew, Elizabeth, and Lidia are probably all children of Job. 2) Daniel was Job's oldest son but not yet 21 when Job wrote his Will in 1756, which means he could have been born 1737 - 1738 been married prior to July 10, 1758. From the History of Warren County, NJ, by George Wyckoff Cummins, 1911 Chapter XIII Allamuchy In this locality settled many famiiles of the Hardwick Society of Friends, who came mostly from Kingwood, New Jersey, and Bucks County, Pa.
