      In Reply to: Absalom I & II - dates please by Karen of 3206

      Absalom Robbins I was born on 11 September 1765, as he stated this in his deposition for his brother William's pension in 1834. He was married to Mary Ogle on 13 March 1787 in Franklin Co., Virginia, according to the marriage bond in that county. He is probably the "A. Robbins" in the Breckinridge Co., Kentucky Mortality Schedule for 1860, listing as having died at age 100 (actually only 94, but what's 6 years in the census). He is listed (the only Absalom Robbins) in the 1801 to 1805 Shelby Co., Kentucky tax lists, and then from 1806 on in Henry Co., Kentucky, again the only Absalom Robbins. From "family stories" he had a son Absalom II (b. c1787), who in turn had a son Absalom III (b. c1810). I wonder if Absalom III really wasn't the youngest child of Absalom Robbins I and Mary Ogle. Mary was said to have died about 1824. Perhaps she died a couple of years before and Absalom I's second wife was Elizabeth Anderson (the marriage took place in Sept. of 1823)?

      SOME EARLY ROBBINS GENERATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES:
      July 5, 2005: "The information in this posting has been excerpted from the ROBBINS JOURNAL, Vol. I, No. 1, July 1989, pp. 1 - 5. The Journal was edited by Kevin K. Mittge, a Robbins family historian, archivist, librarian, and published genealogist. The Journal is now defunct."

      Donna Forney Clark: At this point, I have included only part of the previous posting of this excerpted article.

      Within this article
      "Introduction To The Robbins Family History, by Kevin K. Mittge.

      Kevin K. Mittge writes:

      “I am grateful for information provided by Marvin Robbins, Ocala, FL; Mary Kate Horner, Lebanon, IN; and Margaret Davis, Yakima, WA; and many others who have worked and are still working on this topic.”

      Kevin writes that the following information has been suggested.

      (There are several paragraphs between Kevin’s acknowledgments and the following information.)

      Jacob Robbins (I) was born about 1738 and it is suggested he died about 1830 in Jennings Co., Indiana. He married to Mary, who was possibly of the Wells family. Jacob and Mary are believed to be the parents of William, Absalom, Jacob (II), James, Mary, Martha (called Massey), and Margaret.

      Absalom Robbins, the second son of Jacob and Mary, was married to Mary Ogle shortly after arriving in Virginia.
