Subject:    [Robbinsfamilysouthjersey] Thanks

Hi.  Thanks for inviting me into the group.  I'm the great-great
grandson of Anna M. Robbins (1860-1944) of Hamilton Twp., Mercer
County.  Just recently, I discovered (I should say, it was pointed out
to me) that I had been researching the wrong Anna M. Robbins.  I
didn't realize that there were in fact two Anna M. Robbins, of about
the same age, living in Hamilton Twp., with mothers named Elizabeth.
I had been researching the one who was the daughter of James C.
Robbins.  But it turns out that my ancestor was the daughter of
Richard A. Robbins.

So, I'm starting over.  (Not that I had gotten far on the other line!)
Census records seen to show that Richard A. Robbins was the son of
William T. and Maria Robbins.  An internet posting suggests that
William might be the son of an Ephraim Robbins.  That's as much as I
know, really.

For the record, my line of descent from Anna is:

Anna M. Robbins (1860-1944) m. Charles Henry Reed (1856-1920), son of
Daniel C. Reed and Emeline Van Brunt.
Their daughter Mary Emma Reed (1886-1975) married Edwin Tindall
Hellings (1883-1963), son of Augustus Myers Hellings and Olivia Norris
Tindall.
Their son Augustus Myers Hellings (1914-1981) married Mildred Anne
Little (b. 1922), daughter of Gilbert Francis Little and Rose Armstrong.
Augustus and Mildred are my grandparents.

Thanks again,

Chris Hellings
