THE ROBBINS FAMILY
THE ROBBINS FAMILY
By Harry E. Back
The earliest mention of the Robbins' family in America is of Robert Robbins, who arrived about 1650. He had served as Lieutenant in the army of King Charles I, in Scotland, retain- ing his rank until Charles was beheaded (1648), when he crossed the seas, settled in Roxbury, Mass. and married Mary Maxwell. His son Nathaniel moved to Killingly, Conn., and married Miss - Levins. Nathaniel afterward removed to Hampton, Conn. His son John (of Hampton) married Rebecca Farnham of Andover, Mass. They had thirteen children, of whom Ebenezer, the patriot, was the sixth.
The children of John and Rebecca Farnham Robbins were: Mary, Alice, Patience, John, Solomon, Ebenezer, Hannah, Nathaniel, Abigail, Jeremiah, Rebecca, Olive, Rufus.
Ebenezer Robbins was born at Hampton, Windham County, Conn., February 24, 1758, and died at Ashford, Conn., October 6, 1849. He married first Esther Alworth ; second, Zeruah Car- penter of Willington, Conn. Of the eight children born to Eben- ezer Robbins, five were living in 1889, at the time of the D. A. R. · organization. Two, Esther, the sixth child, and Mary J. Rob- bins, the seventh, became honorary members of Connecticut chapters, D. A. R.
Ebenezer Robbins responded to the Lexington Alarm, under Col. Knowlton, as Sergeant from Ashford, serving twenty-three days. In the list of Ashford men who served in the Lexington Alarm, the first name of a man named Robbins is not given. Tradition affirms that Ebenezer Robbins served in this company, hence the belief that the name --- Robins in this list is his. He re-enlisted July 19, 1775, in the Eight Regiment under Colonel Jedediah Huntington (Norwich) Captain Daniel Lyon (Woodstock), Seventh Company, which served on Long Island Sound and in Boston camps, and was discharged in December (1775). This regiment was re- organized in 1776. Ebenezer Robbins served also in the Militia Regiment commanded by
Colonel Samuel Mclellan (Woodstock)
Captain Abner Robinson.

THE HISTORY OF HOLLAND, MASS.
raised for one year's service from March, 1778, "till Mar. ye 1, 1779." .
"This regiment appears to have served in Brigadier-Gen- eral Tyler's Brigade, under Sullivan in Rhode Island" (August- September, 1778).
The list of Knowlton's Rangers in the Records is incom- plete, but there is no doubt that Ebenezer Robbins was one of them, although his name does not appear. His late daughter Mary J. Robbins' testimony goes to prove this. She often heard him speak of being near Colonel Knowlton,-of hearing his order to the men to lie flat upon the slope of the hill as the enemy advanced upon the opposite slope before the skirmish, and of seeing him carried from the field mortally wounded at Harlem Heights. Knowlton's Rangers consisted of picked men, and Ebenezer Robbin's service in this company is pretty sure evidence of his youthful courage, endurance, and trustworthi- ness.
In 1778 he was in Rhode Island, having enlisted for one year's service. He was also at Princeton, Trenton, and in the retreat through New Jersey. At the Crossing of the Delaware he served his country in a unique manner-probably amusing to all but himself. As the skiffs were loading he made a flying leap for one near by. His gun landed in the boat, he landed in the icy waters, and was clutching desperately at the rail, when he felt a foot upon his shoulder and instantly a soldier tumbled over his head into the boat. Others followed with such regularity that this bewildered human bridge could but submit until his services were no longer needed, when he was hauled into the boat by his grateful and dry-shod comrades. On another occasion he and six others on furlough were passing through Jersey; a horseman without uniform, of whom they asked the way to Morristown, directed them to follow certain blazed trees to which he pointed. They soon halted at a farm- house, where they learned that Morristown lay in quite another direction, and that the trail which they were following would lead them into a British encampment at Brunswick, whose offi- cers came daily to the farm. The rider proved to be a Tory of the locality. These "rebel" soldiers therefore faced about and soon left the author of this treachery far in the rear.
457
THE ROBBINS FAMILY
Ebenezer Robbins served probably during the war. Tradi- tion affirms that he responded to the Lexington Alarm, and he was also with the army when it disbanded. His name is on the Pension Lists, also on the War Records, and his daughter remembers hearing him say more than fifty years after the war that he could at any time obtain more evidence of service, if it were necessary.
His brother Rufus served as a private in the Connecticut Light Infantry. His brother John was also in service-as is shown in the Records and verified by the late Miss Robbins; Nathaniel Robbins wintered at Valley Forge, and Jeremiah was one of the crew of the frigate Confederacy.
Ebenezer Robbins was a member of the Congregational Church at Ashford, and so consistent was his life with his pro- fession that as his daughter states, "profanity was seldom ven- tured upon in his presence." He was as conscientious a citizen as he was brave as a soldier. Although living seven miles from the "polling place," yet he was never absent from a town meet- ing if a vote were to be cast. He was a Federalist, Whig, and Free Soiler, always opposing slavery and prophesying that it would end in civil war.
The children of Ebenezer Robbins, by his first marriage (Nov., 1804) to Esther Alworth (born 1784 and died Feb. 26, 1817), were
William Alworth Robbins, born October 2nd, 1805, and died September 16, 1887, and married on September 26, 1830, Mary Rosebrooks Wallis (born April 11, 1805 and died March 9, 1885)-see below.
Mary Robbins, born 1807; died February 24, 1817.
Nelson Robbins, born December 5, 1810. He went North as a "Yankee Peddler," when a young man, and never was heard from. It was reported that he was murdered and robbed in Vermont.
Edwin Robbins, born July 12, 1813, and died February 16, 1891, married (1) Elizabeth Ann Goodsell December 17, 1843; she died September 23, 1845 ; he married (2) Elizabeth North- rop. He had one son, Edwin Robbins, Jr.
Rufus Robbins, born April 25, 1816; died March 23, 1899; married (1) May 14, 1842, Almira Whiting, who died July 16, 1873; he married (2) Harriet Whiting.

THE HISTORY OF HOLLAND, MASS.
The children of Ebenczer Robbins by his second marriage, October 5, 1817, to Zeruah Carpenter of Willington (born July 13, 1787 ; died July 31, 1855) ; were
Esther Robbins, born May 20, 1820; married George Tyler (who was born March 19, 1810, and died February 5, 1882) and resided in Union City, Michigan. They had six children of whom four were living in 1900. She was an honorary member of Susan Carrington Clarke Chapter, D. A. R. of Meriden, Conn.
Mary J. Robbins, born October 26, 1822; died July 17, 1901; was an honorary member of Katherine Gaylord Chapter, D. A. R. of Bristol, Conn.
Ebenezer Robbins, Junior, born October 23, 1825; died July 4, 1898; married Esther P. Stiles, December 13, 1847.
* *
William A. Robbins, whose life after reaching maturity was passed in Holland, was a carpenter by trade. Even, to- day, there stands in Holland and adjacent towns, many a building which is a monument of his toil, such as the Hitchcock Free Academy building in Brimfield. He was a man of more than usual ability. He was a musician and as such "led" the the Congregational church choir for decades. He taught old- fashioned, country singing schools for generations in Holland and surrounding towns. He was a school teacher, also, and taught in every district in Holland at some period of his life. There are living today very many who testify to his influence upon their careers through the singing and day schools. Mr. Robbins also was active in political life. He was a member of the Republican party and of the parties which were its forerun- ners. For a number of years he was town clerk, selectman and school visitor of Holland. He also held numerous minor offices in that town. In the session of 1862 he served in the Massachu- setts State Legislature as a representative of the Southern Hampden districts of which Holland was a part. The de- scendants of William Alworth Robbins are as follows:
William Alworth Robbins, born at Westford, Connecticut, October 2, 1805; d. at Holland, Mass., September 16, 1887 ; m. Mary Wallis of Holland, Mass., Sept. 26, 1830. She was b. April 11, 1805; d. March 9, 1885. (See Wallis Genealogy.)

THE HISTORY OF HOLLAND, MASS.
THE BADGER FAMILY
By Mrs. Chase.
Giles1 Badger with two brothers, Nathaniel1 and Richard1 came from England abt. 1635 and in 1647 they were all living in Newbury, Mass.
Giles1 had a son John2, called "Sergeant"; John2 Badger who m. (1) Elizabeth --- , they had four children ; he m. (2) Hannah Swett by whom he had nine children; his third son, Nathaniel®, m. Mch. 27, 1693, Mary Lunt, they lived in New- bury until after the birth of their ninth child when they went to Norwich Farms Ct. now the town of Franklin where their youngest son Henry4 was born Mch. 23, 1717.
Their third son, Capt. Daniel+ Badger was of the first settlers of Union, Ct., he built the first house and dug the first well, on land which he bought of Wm. Ward (the home lot No. 2) the sale was dated May 21, 1736. When he was digging the well his little children came to its brink crying for bread. He came up from the well and went thru what seemed like a wilder- ness to Brimfield to buy food for his little ones; this account is true because his daughter Patience who married Elias Arm- strong was one of the hungry children and she told the story to the mother of Rev. Charles Hammond who was the compiler of the history of Union, Ct. Mr. Hammond said that he could just remember Mrs. Armstrong.
The subject of the above sketch: Capt. Daniel+ Badger, (Nathaniel3, John2, Giles1) b. Mch. 27, 1698, d. Feb. 22, 1769; m. (1) Sarah Roath (2) June 28, 1727; Patience Durkee, she d.

Mch. 12, 1809; m. int. Feb. 14, 1848, Sarah Learned; Nathan Badger of Holland, m. int. prob. June 23, 1793 and Joanna Davis of Holl- and. The relation between Nathan and the above is not found.

III. Sherebiah3, was a housewright in Lancaster in 1749. Since there is no record of him after that time either in Lan- caster or Oxford, it seems probable that he was the Sherebiah who came to Holland. In 1766 Sherabiah and Keziah (proba- bly his wife) were among the first on the list of subscribers to support the church in Holland, and either he or his son Shera- biah was chosen deacon of the Cong. Church in 1779. His children as far as known were :-
