Esek Robbins married Mary Clutch d/o John & Rebecca Hughes Clutch. Esek Robbins d. Mar. 1, 1858 & wife Mary d. Sept 29, 1819. They are buried in the Allentown Presbyterian Church Graveyard. Esek & Mary had two children: John Robbins b. 1808 in Allentown. He became a cooper like his father but also farmed & kept a general store in Allentown for many yrs. John Robbins was active in the the Anti-slavery & Temperance movements. He married 1st Margaret Vanderbeek & 2nd Edynetta Hutchinson. Elizabeth Robbins b. abt. 1810 married Jacob Ford & they lived at Bordentown, NJ. This line of Esek Robbins, Sr. appears to be closely connected to the 10 Aaron line. I'm not sure exactly where Esek, Sr. links to 10- Aaron's descendants. I also question if the name Esek was a phonetic spelling for Isaac?

Robbins. I've been researching the parents of Esek Robbins, Sr. for quite a few yrs. I can't find where he fits into 10-Aaron & may start to look at 8- Moses. Aaron & Moses seem to have had the majority of descendants in the Allentown area. I invited your niece to join the group as you suggested awhile back but never heard from her. Anything new with finding the deed to "Ye Old Robbins Burial Ground"?

Robbins The letter posted to the files is from the research of Tom Robbins. Charles S. Robbins was the great-grandson of Esek Robbins, Jr. b. 1778 & his wife Mary Clutch. The father of Charles (from the letter) is Samuel H. Robbins & his mother Helen Forsyth d/o Wm & Helen Forsyth.

Re: Ye Olde Robbins Burial Ground. Do you have any research or information that shows the deed to be in the NJ Archives? I'm curious where the deed went after the Robbins family turned it over to Barton Hutchinson in 1884 & if it is in the NJ Archives. Sara
