I saw your note saying you had researched the New Jersey Robins.  Have you
found anything that would help me get past my roadblock?

I am descended from:
John Robins  -  born 10 Apr 1760 in Sussex Co., NJ
And Sarah Daily, then
Philips Robins  -  born 05 Oct 1785 in Washington Co., PA
And Nancy Boyd, then
Rezin Robins  -  Abt. 1817 in OH
And Harriet Boyd, then
Samuel Kirk Robins  -  born 1845 in Shelby Co., IN
And Sarah Margaret Clark, then
Mary Margaret Robins  -  20 Aug 1874 in Richland Co., IL
And William Young Moore (Will and Mary are my grandparents)

Family tradition says that the Robins family was Scottish and settled around
Elizabethtown NJ in the latter half of the 1600s.  This is consistent with
Daniel and Hope Robins, but I’ve been unable to get farther back than John.
It appears that John had a brother named Daniel that moved west at the same
time John did.

Do you know of a Rachel Robbins (Robins) from (poss. Hunterdon
Co.,)NJ, who md. Alburtis Arnwine in 1812 and settled in central PA
(Northumberland-Montour-Columbia Cos.)?  She d. in 1871 in Danville. What
I have found about her points to some connection w/ a Daniel Robbins,
but I've never learned her parentage.
