Brian,

The U.S. Fed Census, Mortality Index for 1850 has a different
birthdate & place of birth but he may be John Robins/Robbins.
son of William Robins of Hunterdon Co., NJ.

John Robins' Will was written Jan. 15, 1850 in Greenwood Twp,
Columbia Co., PA. It names his sons Wm, Daniel & Joseph, daughters
Sarah Legget Cool, Rebecca Bitterly, Lydia Ann White, Eliza McCarthy
deceased, Mary Salmon, Amelia & Clarissa. Doesn't mention his wife.

Family researcher Fern Robbins Hill of Orangeville, PA has John's
birthdate as Dec. 1780 & his death date as March 29, 1850, married on
July 5, 1810 in Greenwood Twp to Mary "Polly" Woodward b. Aug. 3,
1786, died Feb, 14, 1850. The source for this information came from a
family Bible owned in 1993 by the Harold & Esther Wilson family. Fern
Robbins Hill is a descendant of Joseph Robbins son of Jonathan &
Tamar Hagerman Robins. It looks like these PA Robins later changed to
the 2 "b's" spelling.

Bettylou,

Thanks for posting on how your father came to carry the Woodward name. The NJ Woodwards go back to Anthony Woodward a wealthy & prominent Quaker who settled at  Shrewsbury, NJ around 1686. I expect Mary "Polly" Woodward w/o John Robins was from this family & either she or her parents were born in NJ.
