Comment on Origins
”Incorrect parents: It has been said that Richard Robbins of Cambridge, John Robbins of Wethersfield, Nicholas and Thomas Robbins of Duxbury, and Samuel Robbins of Salisbury were all brothers. As such, they are identified as children of John and Hester Robbins of Thedingworth, Leicestershire, England. This has long since been refuted by Donald Lines Jacobus;[9] however, the widespread and repeated publication of the claim has allowed this erroneous information to persist. The only evidence cited to link these men is the 1665 will of Samuel Robbins of Salisbury. In his will, Samuel clearly identifies his mother and father as John and Hester Robbins of Thedingworth as he makes them his default heirs if none of his brothers are willing to come to New England. Rather than prove that Richard Robbins is his brother, the wording of this will makes it clear that none of the children of John and Hester Robbins besides Samuel were currently living in New England in 1665. In fact, there is no evidence to link Richard Robbins to any Robbins family in England or to any of the other Robbins who were living in the colonies at the time.”
