PA You can read a bit about them in the bios of their grandsons Jackson and Virgil, at: http://www.pagenweb.org/~columbia/bios4.htm William was born about 1796 and died around 1871 in Greenwood twp. Columbia Co. PA He was married twice. First to Catherine Swisher and second to Sabrina Teeple. I consider Garry Heagy to be the expert on these Robbins!  Tracey Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2021 21:56:01 -0600 From: Tracey Marcelo To: Marshall Lake Subject: Re: [Robbins Family Society] William ROBINS (Columbia Co, PA) Hi Marshall,I'm intentionally writing back only to you and not the Robbins group.  I really don't have proof to share my theory broadly.  I think the Joseph who married Catherine Harris was born between 1760-1770ish.  In my Family Tree Maker file, I call him "Joseph Younger Robbins" because I believe he is the son of an older Joseph Robbins who also lived in Columbia Co. PA. (The reason I used "Younger" instead of "Jr." was because for awhile, I thought there were THREE Joseph Robbins living in the same area at the same time and I called one Eldest, one Older, and one Younger. I've since eliminated the "Older" and now just have Eldest and Younger in my files!) I don't know the name of the wife of the older Joseph but I believe the older Joseph was born around 1734 and died in Northumberland or Columbia Co. between 1801 and 1810, as he is last recorded in the 1800 census.  Here are transcriptions of that 1800 census where both Joseph's show up: 1800 Derry Northumberland Co. PA Name: Joseph Robans  (***This is the one I call "Joseph Younger Robbins") Home in 1800 (City, County, State): Derry, Northumberland, Pennsylvania Free White Persons - Males - Under 10: 2 Free White Persons - Males - 26 thru 44: 1 Free White Persons - Females - Under 10: 1 Free White Persons - Females - 16 thru 25: 1 Number of Household Members Under 16 : 3 Number of Household Members Over 25 : 1 Number of Household Members: 5 1800 Derry Northumberland Co. PA Name: Joseph Robans (***This is the older Joseph Robbins who I think is the father of the 'Younger' one) Home in 1800 (City, County, State): Derry, Northumberland, Pennsylvania Free White Persons - Males -10 thru 15: 1 Free White Persons - Males - 16 thru 25: 1 Free White Persons - Males - 45 and over: 1 Free White Persons - Females - 45 and over: 1 Number of Household Members Under 16 : 1 Number of Household Members Over 25 : 2 Number of Household Members: 4 For a time Garry Heagy and I theorized that this older Joseph is the son of Isaac Robins and Azubia Thatcher.  (Actually I think Garry had that theory long before I caught on to it!) The "working" list of children I have for this older Joseph are:  Name: Elizabeth Robbins Birth: Bet. 1750–1760 Death: 1814 F Spouse: Robert Richart   Name: William Robbins Birth: 1754 Death: 1831 in Greenwood, Columbia, Pennsylvania, USA M Spouse: Lydia   Name: Joseph Younger Robbins Birth: Bet. 1760–1770 Death: ? 1839? 1849? ; Lived in Greenwood, Columbia, Pennsylvania M Spouse: Catherine Harris   Name: Vincent Robbins of PA Birth: Bet. 1761–1770 ; Possibly born 1764 Death: Apr 1836 in Hemlock, Columbia, Pennsylvania, USA M Spouse: Emaline   Name: John Robbins Birth: 1775 Death: Bef. 1850 in Madison, Columbia, Pennsylvania, USA M Spouse: Eleanor ?   Name: Joshua Robbins Birth: 1777 M Spouse: Jane Dildine Let me know if you have questions.
