General Notes: Husband - William Robb


He left Westmoreland County, PA, where he was born, and became a resident of Oakland Township, Butler County, previous to the war of 1812. He brought with him his wife and three children. He purchased a farm from Samuel Riddle in 1813. He resided on it until 1838, when he disposed of it and bought another four miles west of the former. He died in 1847, and had he lived until the day of his funeral, he would have been sixty-four years old precisely.

He grew to maturity in his native county, and there married. In 1810, with his wife and three children, he came to Butler county and purchased 260 acres from Samuel Riddle, which had a small clearing and a log cabin. This farm was later owned by the Moores and Lightners. He resided on this place until 1837, and then bought another farm, later owned by his son, William J., and here he died. He was an elder in Concord Presbyterian church, and a liberal supporter of that society. In politics, he was a Whig, and soon after coming to Butler county was elected a justice of the peace, which office he held for many years.
