Also buried in this cemetery is William J. Robbins 1845-1933 & Rachel A. Robbins 1843-1891. I believe you said you live in the area. Have you seen these graves? Hope I'm not giving you information you already have as I realize you aren't new to Robbins family history. Thought you would like to know there is another James Robbins b.1870 in Boyd Co., Ky. & died 8-8-1933 in Catlettsburg, KY. & is buried in the Catlettsburg Cemetery. His parents were John B. Robbins born in New York & Nancy Bowman born in KY. The source for the information on this second James & his parents is from his State of Kentucky death certificate. William J. Robbins buried at Ashland Cemetery was born 2-10-1845 in Lawrence Co., OH & died 11-29-1933 in Tampa, Hillsborough, FL.His death record can be found in the Florida Death Index & I will post a copy to the group file for you & other interested members. Possibly these bits of information will be of help to you if you decide to follow up with searching records that are most likely available in your area. Ashland, Greenup, Catlettsburg are places not that far away from each other with Lawrence Co., OH across the river.

May 1888 in Greenup, KY whose mother was a Greenslate or married as her second husband a Greenslate? The James Robbins who died 2-10-1936 in Lawrence Co., KY, do you have his birth date? Posted by: ladyfan3@frontier.com Date: Thu Apr 30, 2015 10:22 am ((PDT)) yes he is the son of Rhoda Greenslate and his is May 1888 but the other one that is buried at woodland I don’t have a birth date on him there is nothing on his index card they told me not even the funeral home on the card Posted by: ladyfan3@frontier.com Date: Thu Apr 30, 2015 10:26 am ((PDT)) Sara also Daniel A Robbins had a son the name of James D Robbins and he was born 1835 Ky married Lucinda O’Neal I cannot find his death record either I can find census records but no death record for him there was a James Robbins who was killed in a Indian war here some where I heard Posted by: ladyfan3@frontier.com Date: Thu Apr 30, 2015 10:40 am ((PDT)) and I gave you the wrong birth year for Daniel son James it was 1855-1856 Posted by: "Sara Hoffman" july37@cox.net turkeypt2 Date: Thu Apr 30, 2015 11:04 am ((PDT)) Is there a record for the marriage of Rhoda to a Robbins? I haven’t looked for one. Could it be James 1888 was born out of wedlock to Rhoda Robbins b. 3 –4 -1859,d. 5-1-1940 daughter of Joshua & Mary Brown Robbins? Rhoda married Reason Greenslate in or about 1900, two years after the birth of James. He may have taken or used his step-father’s name Greenslate. Rhoda Robbins Greenslate is buried at Mt Olive Cemetery in Greenup,KY. This is just a theory about James Robbins but if correct it may be difficult to locate a birth record or death record however, not impossible. Posted by: ladyfan3@frontier.com Date: Thu Apr 30, 2015 11:37 am ((PDT)) you are right Rhoda was not married when she had the Robbins sons and she was the daughter of Joshua Robbins and Mary Brown so you think he may have died under the name Greenslate I don’t know I don’t even know who he married, one James married a Amanda Brown and one James married a Rozanna brown in greenup ky Posted by: "Sara Hoffman" july37@cox.net turkeypt2 Date: Thu Apr 30, 2015 11:51 am ((PDT)) There is a death record for Samuel Henry Robbins born 5-17-1890 in Greenup & died 3-12-1931 in Greenup, KY. He is the brother of James Robbins born in 1888. It gives the name of his father as James Robbins & mother Rhoda Robbins. My theory can’t be correct for James being born out of wedlock. Apparently Rhoda was married to a James Robbins & by 1900 Rhoda was married to Reason Greenslate. We can conclude her husband James Robbins died between 1890 & 1900 or they were divorced. Thank you for your offer to look up records in your area. I don’t have any record in mind right now. I’m mainly interested in where these Robbins were before they migrated to Ohio & Ky. I will be following up on the John B. Robbins born in New York that migrated to Catlettsburg, KY. I suspect not all these Robbins are descendants of Daniel & Hope. You are right, there are so many men in KY with the name James Robbins. I appreciate your work on sorting out the James Robbins in your area of Boyd Co. KY & Lawrence Co., OH. I worked on the line of another James Robbins of Bell Co., KY a few years ago. The Y-DNA shows they are not descendants of Daniel & Hope. It was disappointing for the male who tested but better to know the facts. As we know this is why DNA testing is so important.

He is buried in Lincoln Co. Ky. His father was Lemuel Robbins. My father is a James Robbins (born 1925) from Bell Co, Ky. With the help of John German, we had my father's DNA tested and it showed he was of the Daniel and Hope lineage. This was contrary to what the family believed. We always believed the story of 3 Robbins brothers coming from Wales. Mary Robbins Starkey Posted by: "Sara Hoffman" july37@cox.net turkeypt2 Date: Thu Apr 30, 2015 1:52 pm ((PDT)) Good to hear from you & thanks for sharing your line from Lemuel Robbins father of James G. Robbins NC to KY. Have you been able to find what branch of the Daniel Robinson/Robins your Lemuel Robbins belongs to on the family tree? John’s death was certainly a huge loss not only to his family & friends but to the work he did on the Robins family DNA especially with the southwestern USA families. I’m so pleased he lived long enough to see proof that the Wales story was a myth. He fought his illness as long as he could & did research right up to the final days of his life. I really miss my old research friends who have passed on like John, John Taylor & Wilma Meaden. They all went too soon. Glad you & Shirley D. & a few others are still around who remember these researchers too. The James Robbins in KY I mentioned whose DNA didn’t match was thought to belong to the line of Aaron Robins. It’s still a mystery as to where they fit in.

Where the records burnt. Census records say they were born in NY. and Penn. Edward in 1836-1876, buried in Waupun, Wi. Edward married Vestalina Gee. This probably doesn't help you Shirley but I wish you good luck. Shirley Robbins Hawley Posted by: "marys616" marys616@aol.com marystarkey Date: Fri May 1, 2015 5:09 pm ((PDT)) We can trace James Robbins and Lemuel Robbins back to Richard Robbins of NC. That's where the dead end is that John German worked so hard to trace back to Daniel and Hope but could not.
