I'm still trying to find Aaron's Father.

Fayette County, PA, Genealogical & Personal History says: "The Robbins
family of Fayette county is traced to about the years 1790, when Aaron,
James and John Robbins, young men, bricklayers and stonemasons by trade,
came from New Jersey to Connellsville.......  Aaron Robbins was twice
married; his second wife being Laidessa Huntley. By first wife he had sons,
John and Stephen......."

I've been able to go forward from Aaron, James & John (mostly Aaron's
line) but I have not been able to find a father for Aaron.  I've been
told that a male relative has been tested (DNA) & is a descdendant of
Daniel & Hope (Potter) Robins(on).

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thank you.
Deb

You & Brian Robbins come from the same line. Your information is correct ,DNA
testing does show this is a Daniel Robins line. Possibly Brian who knows this
line very well or someone else can help out here with more information. It
appears the Connellsville Robbins line connects to the line of Aaron Robins,
Sr. through his son Ephraim. As you say many were stone mason & bricklayers
by trade.
