( VII ) Charles Parker, third son of Eli and Sibyl ( Parker) Tarbell, was born December 4, 1824, in Smithville, where he passed his life, and died at the old homestead, May 15, 1908. He was a progressive, hard working farmer, of the old school, and always took a great in- terest in everything that was of benefit to his town and county. He was particularly in- terested in the town and county fairs, believ- ing that they furnished a stimulus that led to better farming and more care and attention to the all-important matter of breeding farm animals. He was a staunch advocate of the public school system and believed that the very best thing that could be done for the children of our country was to give them a good education. He married Mabell M., born July 7. 1824, died at the old homestead, March 24. 1905, daughter of Abraham and Lucy Tillotson. She was a most remarkable woman in every way-a great reader, thoroughly informed on all the public questions of the day. a reasoner and debater of extraordinary ability, and a woman of sterling character and integrity. She was a staunch believer in woman's rights and always predicted that woman suffrage would become general in the United States, for many reasons, but particu- larly because it was right.

1876. He taught school for one year, and then commenced the study of law at Greene. New York. He was admitted to the bar at the general term of the supreme court in Ithaca, New York, in 1880. Soon thereafter he located at Marathon, Cortland county, New York, and practiced in state and United States courts until 1884, when he removed to Bing- hamton, New York, to become general agent of the Equitable Life Assurance Society for the southern tier of counties. In 1886 he went to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as state agent for the same company, and from there was transferred to Chicago on January I, 1889, to become a partner in the management of the Equitable for the northwestern de- partment, embracing nine states. The growth of the business under his management was so great that two years later he was appointed resident secretary of the company, his head- quarters remaining at Chicago, and in 1893 he was elected third vice-president of the Equitable Life Assurance Society and re- moved to New York, where he had charge of the agencies throughout the United States and Canada. In 1899 he was elected second vice- president. a position which he held until he resigned in 1907. The growth of the Equi- table's business under his management was phenomenal and attracted world-wide atten- tion. He still remains a director of the so- ciety. Since 1907 he has been operating in real estate, and in 1910 he made the largest single sale of suburban improved property that has ever been made in this vicinity. He has also been connected with other large fi- nancial institutions, including the Mercantile Trust Company and the Equitable Trust Com- pany of New York. He is a member of the Chamber of Commerce, the Aero Club of America, Automobile Club of America, and the Union League, Ardsley, Lawyers', Gar- den City and New York Riding clubs.
Some years before the death of his parents. with a view to making their remaining years as comfortable and interesting as possible. Mr. Tarbell purchased the old homestead at Smithville Flats and several adjoining farms and instituted a vigorous and progressive sys- tem of improvement thereon. This included the construction of new model, up-to-date buildings, the installation of underground drainage, a large modern poultry plant, the systematic rotation of crops, the building of macadam roads, a modern creamery, an exten-

sive boarding house with all conveniences for the help, etc .. etc. The farm has been stocked with pure bred Guernseys, Dorset and Shrop- shire sheep, Angora goats, Cheshire hogs, and various kinds of poultry. It now consists of some two thousand acres and is regarded as one of the show places of Chenango county ; in fact good judges have pronounced the farm buildings among the most complete, modern and sanitary in the United States.
Mr. Tarbell married, December 21, 1881, Ella, daughter of George L. and Louisa (Hunt) Swift, of Marathon, where the for- mer was a merchant. She was born Janu- ary 12, 1861 Children: 1.

This is a very old 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- burv. 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 1670.
(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
1334

in an expedition against the Nipmuck Indi- ans, in the vicinity of what is now Webster, Massachusetts, and was among those to whom was granted a township eight miles square for this service. He settled in the "Mill Div- idend" of Dedham, which is now Walpole. He married, in Reading, July 2, 1680, Pris- cilla, daughter of Robert and Elizabeth (Brook) Gowing. She survived her husband nearly twenty years, and died at Walpole, March 5, 1745, in her eightieth year. They had a daughter, Elizabeth, born in Reading, and sons, William and John, and probably Aquila, Ebenezer, Ezekiel and Oliver.
(II) John, son of William and Priscilla (Gowing) Robbins, was born 1688, probably in Reading, and died August II, 1774, in At- tleboro, Massachusetts. His will, made Feb- ruary 25, 1762, was proved August 25, 1774. It mentions his wife and the children named below.

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.

He remained on the homestead, successfully engaged in farming until 1867, when he removed to Mexico, Oswego county, New York, and purchased the railroad mill which he operated until his death, January 26, 1899.

There are quite distinct ALBERTSON 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.
(I) Joseph Albertson, the first member of this family about whom we have definite in- formation, was born in Dutchess county, New York, and removed from thence to Rush, Monroe county, New York, where he died. He was a farmer. Child, Frederick Ham, of whom further.
(II) Frederick Ham, son of Joseph Albert- son, was born in Dutchess county, New York, in 1794, died at Rush, to which place he had moved about 1821. He was a farmer. He married daughter of Frederick Arm- strong. Children : Mary, John, Joseph, Ja- cob, of whom further; Elizabeth, Isaac, Jane, Hannah.
(III) Jacob, son of Frederick Ham and (Armstrong) Albertson, was born at Rush in 1833, died at Caledonia, Livingston county, New York, in 1895. He was edu- cated at the public schools at Rush, and Henri- etta Academy. He was a farmer and a mer- chant. For twenty years he was a justice of the peace, and for two years deputy sheriff of Monroe county. In politics he was a Re- publican, in religion a Universalist. He mar- ried Hannah Almena, who died at Conesus, New York, in October, 1910, daughter of Jeremiah and Lucy Ann (Kelsey) Sibley. Her father lived to the age of seventy-seven ; her mother was daughter of Dr. Alexander Kelsey. Children : 1. Charles S., of whom further. 2. Jennie A., deceased; married Daniel D. Boyd, had children: Samuel, Don- ald, Charles. 3. Lucy N., married James A. Alger ; children: John and James. 4. Fred- erick Ham, married Fanny Norton; child : Donald.
(IV) Dr. Charles S. Albertson, son of Ja- cob and Hannah Almena (Sibley) Albertson, was born at Rush, New York, February 9, 1852. He attended the public schools of that place, and the high school at Scottsville, Mon- roe county, also the normal school at Brock- port, in the same county. In 1882 he gradu- ated from the Cleveland Homopathic Hospi-
