Chris,

Thanks very much for explaining your DNA results.  I have an undocumented file that says a Richard Robbins b. abt 1710 near Swansea, Wales husband of Anna Parsons, died between 1786 & 1790 in Randolph Co., NC.  His parents were named  Isaac Robbins & Sarah McGray both of Swansea, Wales. Do you know if this information is referring to your ancestor Richard or another Richard Robbins?

                                                                  Sara

        Sara,

        My DNA results only prove that I and a direct descendant of Daniel share a common ancestor "x" generations ago.  It does not prove or disprove the theory of Richard being the "expected child" of Daniel.  We just don't have enough documented facts.

          A welcome to Chris Robbins a descendant of Richard Robbins b. abt. 1710 Rowan Co., NC.
          Chris you say are you are a 64 of 67 marker match with the Daniel Robins descendants. There is a theory that Richard Robbins b. abt. 1710 was the "expected child" mentioned in the will of Joseph Robins, Sr. son of Daniel & Hope Robins. Can you give us some idea what this means, 64 of 67 marker match? Would your DNA results provide some credibility to the theory of Richard Robbins 1710 as the son of Joseph Robins, Sr.?

          Sara

Sara,
 
That is infromation promoted by Rob(b)ins researchers that insist that the Robins that came down from NJ and the Robbins that just happened to settle in the same part of NC at the same time are two distinct families.  There is no ship's record of Richard Robbins and family coming to America from Wales.  The woman who says she went to Wales and found proof has never shared that proof.  She has since died and I am trying to obain her notes from the cousin that has them.  In addition, the fact that I, a direct descendant of Richard, match so closely with a direct descendant of Daniel would seem to indicate that I (and Richard) are descendants of Daniel.  I have a cousin that will no longer communicate with me because I told her that the Robins & the Robbins were most likely the same family.
 
Chris

Chris,
I was told a long time ago that the Robins & the Robbins of NC were two unrelated families & a distinction was made by the use of one "b'" &  two "b's". Obviously now, not correct. Thanks for letting us know there is no record for Richard Robbins & family coming to America from Wales. Your DNA test result & the information you have given is very helpful towards our goal of compiling accurate information for the Daniel & Hope Robins family.
