Posted by: "Garry Heagy" gheagy@netflash.net gheagy@netflash.net Date: Mon May 13, 2019 11:36 am ((PDT)) From the Goodspeed Histories Boarshead Tavern August 9, 2013 Hiram Robbins was the son of John Robins and Elizabeth Risler. He married Catharine Trimmer in 1840, daughter of George Trimmer. His son, George T. Robbins, who kept a store near P.R.R. station, and his son Sylvester who was station agent there both died between 40 and 50 years ago. Joseph Robbins owned a farm north of that road—a Robbins homestead as I have it in mind and the location of the old-time tannery of this vicinity. Later the farm came into possession of his son Ephraim. This Joseph Robbins (1794-1858) was the uncle of Hiram Robbins, who was listed in the 1840 census as involved in manufacture or trade; that suggests the tannery. However, by 1850, he was counted as a farmer. Note: Joseph was born in 1784, husband of Sarah Robbins.
