Subject:    [SPAM] [Robbinsfamilysouthjersey] Ann "Nancy" Robbins FitzRandolph

Does anyone have know the names of Ann "Nancy" Robbins FitzRandolph's
parents? She was the wife of Justus FitzRandolph. According to their
family Bible record on pg. 126 of the Robins Robbins of NJ book Justus
& Nancy were married in 1788.

Subject:    [SPAM] [Robbinsfamilysouthjersey] Captain Nathaniel Robbins

Nathaniel Robbins (Captain)
He was of the "Armed Boatmen" a Corps of Loyalists, and married on
August 9, 1783, to Mary______, at Scotch Plains, New Jersey, by the
Rev. Moses Ellimore, in the presence of his sister, Ann Fitz
Randolph, who was alive in Jersey City in July 1831, aged 61. Another
sister, Nancy Fitz Randolph, who was alive at the same place in July
1838, aged 68, is also mentioned. He died on March 20, 1831, at
Northfield, Staten Island, at the age of 77, and is buried in the
graveyard of the Baptist Church. Administration on his property was
granted to his widow and to his daughter, Susan Robbins.
James Bloomfield, of Woodbridge, New Jersey, a pensioner of the
United States, in an affidavit of January 1, 1839, states that he
fought against Captain Robbins in the Revolution, and that he was "an
active and brave officer." From 1788 until his death he received a
military allowance of 30 pounds.
New Jersey Historical Society Proceedings, Vol. II, Issue 4, Oct.
1926, pg. 480.

Captain Nathaniel Robbins may be the same notorious character,
husband of Mary Merrill of Staten Island from the article in
the "Memorial History of Staten Island" by Ira K. Morris.
I'm inclined to think Nathaniel Robbins only had one sister
Ann "Nancy" Robbins Fitz Randolph. If Ann & Nancy were two different
women then they were twins born in 1770. Nancy was the nickname for
Ann. Was Nathaniel Robbins related to the NJ Robbins family?
