I happened to pick up the Messenger Press (Allentown's paper) today
and noticed an article under "Historically Speaking" by John Fabiano,
president of Allentown-UpperFreehold Historical Society.  It makes the
following references to a Robbins:

March 21, 1801:  James Demmins and Eleanor his wife, of Allentown & c,
executed a mortgage to Burnet Montgomery, of the same place, for "two
hundred Spanish Milled Dollars," upon a lot of land in Allentown,
"Beginning about 45 feet westward of said Demmins's house, on the main
road and at Doctor Montgomery's cdorner, running an direct line down
s'd road to the Mill Pond: thence along said Mill Pond to said
Montgomery's line, and thence bounded by Doct'r Montgomery's land to
the place of beginning: containing one acre more or less."

March 4, 1809, "James Lloyd, Esq'r, late Sheriff of the county of
Monmouth," conveyed the same to Burnet Montgomery for $35.01,
containing once acre, described as above.

March 9, 1852, "James B. Hooper and Charlotte Louisa his wife, of
Somerset County, &c, and Sarah Rogers, (widow of Samuel, dec'd) of the
city of Trenton," &c, conveyed to Elisha Robbins, of Allentown, &c for
$653, one acre, described as above," which Burnet Montgomery, by his
will, devised in fee simple to Charlotte Louisa Rogers (his
grand-daughter), now wife of said James B. Hooper, and the said
Charlotte Louisa, while sole and unmarried, conveyed a life right
therein to her mother, the said Sarah Rogers, by deed July 14, 1837, &c.

July 15, 1854, Abel Cafferty and Margaret his wife of Allentown, &c
conveyed to Elisha Robbins, of the same, for "a satisfactory sum,"
3/100 of an acre at the rear of the above lot.

February 7, 1894, Caroline S. Meseroll (daughter of Elisha Robbins)
and Augustus A. Meseroll, her husband, conveyed the above premises, 1
acre and 3/100 of an acre, to Augustus R. Cafferty, of Allentown, for
$2000.
