Notes for John ROBINS: reference: First American census, 1784 for Ware Parish, Cloucester Cty., John Robbins, 4 persons, 1 dwelling and 4 outbuildings. Records of land purchase in Orange Cty., Virginia in 1760. All of his sons were born before that date. There are no records [to date] about where they came from before coming to Orange Cty., Virginia. The family relocated from Orange Cty., Virginia to Surry Cty., [now Wilkes Cty.] in North Carolina about 1775. Land records for Mulberry Creek, 1777--indicate he owned two plantations. The home place contained about 396 acres, and the adjoining smaller plantation was about 140 acres. It was located in Capt. Herndon's District.
According to the list; the improvements were, 8 head of horses and 12 head of cattle. According to the 1782 records, Mulberry Creek and Reddies River are Capt. Judd's District with an increase in the size of John ROBBINS, Sr's plantations. They had increased to 936 acres, 6 head horses and 6 head cattle.
His occupation is not indicated in any of the records, but one can safely say he was involved in some type of argricultural pursuit, due to the ownership of the two plantations.
According to the 1787 Wilkes County census: John Robins, Sr had increased his land holdings to 636 acres. The land holdings of his two son's; John and Thomas along with his totalled over 1907 acres.[Historical speculation: These were probably some of the largest platations in North Carolina for that period.]

ReplyDeleteYep, Sharon is correct, and missing several children for William Berry Robins/robbins. I've line this out in my blog. Discussed it with Jimmie Lee Robins before he passed. Shaybo, how do you relate to us?
ReplyDeleteSo being new to this genealogy of family I'm a granddaughter of Billy Joe Robins Son of Christopher C. Robins Son of Wiley Franklin Robins Son of William Berry Robins I don't know much about my Dads family they were really never talked about any of them And my dad has passed and so has his I really have no one to ask. So what I've rezearched says were in direct line of the first known Robyns which was Thomas Robyns married to Joan of holdenby I really just want to know if I'm right or wrong and what needs to changed. Possible descendent of John Robins The 1St
ReplyDeleteMy great grandmother was Lydia Anne Robin's, my great grandfather was Henry Floyd Foster. My grandmother was Jewel Minnie Foster and my grandfather was George Leon Haynie.
