Without copying the whole article about Thomas Clare "pioneer settler of
Lower Georges Creek, associated with Albert Gallatin of Friendship Hill",
I will take out the section that I wanted to share.
 . . . Mr. Clare purchased from the heirs of Daniel Robins a tract of
one hundred acres on Georges Creek, and also a one-fifth interest in the
mill and fifty acres of land adjoining the same, April 11,1788.  He also
purchased from William Robins a tract of 214 acres adjoining the above
November 2, 1793.  This comes from the Daily News Standard, Uniontown,
PA, November 21, 1901, the article is titled Back in Olden Times.

I finally got to the PA State Archives yesterday and viewed the
land records for two patents in Springhill Twp., Fayette County,
PA.  "Fidelity" was warranted by Daniel Robins in 1785, and
according to the patent, Daniel died intestate and Wm. Robins filed as
Administrator. An adjoining property called "Reliance" was warranted
in 1771 by James Borden, and patented by "Daniel Robins Administrator
Wm. Robins". Both were patented on the same day: 23 April 1793.

I think I got all my info from Leona Cheeney, after she answered my
query many years ago.

Leona shared that Wm. was married to Mary Evans, there were four sons:
1.William m. Margaret Dillner, 2. John m. Sarah 3. Daniel and 4. George.
Leona came thru son William, and I descended from son John. I haven't
learned anymore about Daniel or George.
