This is a very okl surname in ROBBINS England, derived from the personal name Robin, and identical with Robinson in derivation. There have been many prominent men of this fam- ily both in England and America. It was very early planted in New England by vari- ous immigrants, and has been conspicuous in the settlement and development of Cen- tral New York. Its representatives are scat- tered throughout the United States. Among the pioneers of New England were John Rob- bins, of Wethersfield, Nicholas and Thomas. who settled in Duxbury : Samuel, of Salis- bury, Massachusetts, and Nicholas, of Cam- bridge. In the early records the name is spelled Robbines, Robines, Robins and other variations. It is possible and there is good ground for surmise that William Robbins, mentioned below, was a younger brother of Nathaniel Robbins, who settled in Lexington in 1070.
(1) William Robbins is supposed to have been of Scotch birth, and resided for a short time in Lynn, Massachusetts. He was a free- man in Reading, Massachusetts, in 1691, and died August 18, 1725. in Walpole, Massachu- setts. He was a soldier of King Philip's war

It was presumably his son, David Robbins, of Attle- boro, who served as a revolutionary soldier on the Rhode Island alarm in 1780. He marched July 31, and was discharged Au- gust 8, having served eight days, and was allowed for two days' travel from Tiverton back to Attleboro.

ALBERTSON There are quite distinct families bearing the name Albertson in various parts of the United States. One of the first emi- grants to Massachusetts bore this name; he is said to have been a Swede. There is an
Albertson family early established in North Carolina. Again, the name is found among the earliest Dutch emigrants to New Amster- dam; the first of the name arrived in Septem- ber, 1640, and a child of this surname was baptized in 1650. The Long Island and New Jersey families would seem to be of this Dutch stock, and it is from this root that we sup- pose the Albertsons of Dutchess county to have sprung.
