Marshall,

Thanks for the posting from the Sullivan Co., NY newspaper.

Possibly B.D. Robbins NJ>NY may be the same Benjamin Robbins who was b. abt. 1855 in CT. The 1880 census for Jersey City, NJ shows a Benjamin Robbins living in the household of his father Benjamin W. Robbins b. abt 1820 in England & mother Jane born in CT. Benjamin's occupation in 1880 was listed as the milk business.
