General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Robbins

---

The Robbins family of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, is a branch of one of the numerous Robbins families of New England, who are all descended from a Robbins, who (it is stated) with his wife and children came over from England in the next ship after the Mayflower, that anchored along the then wild and bleak New England shore. Half a century later his descendants nearly all perished in King Philip's war in 1675. Savage makes record in Connecticut of a John Robbins of Weathersfield in 1638, a Richard Robbins of Cambridge in 1639 and a Benjamin Robbins of Wallingford in 1687. From these Connecticut Robbins families came many distinguished men of New England, eminent divines, classical scholars, judges of the courts, members of the Legislature, governors and United States senators. Of the latter was Hon. Ashur Robbins, an eminent lawyer, and who between 1825 and 1829 was one of the U. S. Senators from Rhode Island. He was an impressive speaker, a classical scholar and an able statesman. ³
