Tom, I posted the picture of Capt George Robbins to see if anyone
here could identify him & his line. He doesn't belong to the line of
Richard Robbins. It would be great if we could find his place on the
Robbins family tree.

Capt. Robbins was a member of Company H.,14th NJ Regiment Infantry
Volunteers. The 14th was made up of recruits from the following
counties: Mercer Co, Companies B&I, Middlesex Co.,Companies H&K,
Monmouth Co., A,D,& G, Ocean Co.,F, Union Co.,C&E. It's possible
Middlesex Co was his home county but no guarantee. The 14th's basic
training was at Camp Vredenburgh near Freehold on ground where the
Battle of Monmouth was fought during the Rev. War.
Major battles fought by the 14th NJ were at Wilderness,
Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor & Monocacy.

Sara,

I did an Ancestry.com search of the census and a George W. Robbins
popped up for the 1860 census in New Jersey. Could be the same
person. His age would be similar to the person in the photo.

This George W.'s father was William T. Robbins.  I found a person who
had both of them in a family tree, and sent her an email requesting
additional information.

The reason I'm asking is that the photo reminded me of my brother
Timothy.  When I did the cenus search, William and family lived in
Hamilton, Mercer County, NJ,  the same town as my Gr. Gr. Grandfather
Nathan Robbins. I don't see a William T. Robbins in my line, but he
could be from Moses, or Ben's line.

Tom
